Description
Some motifs make you smile before you even use them. This cotton placemat yellow and red is one of them: a medley of fruit drawn with relish, bursting with colour and turning a plain table into something cheerful.
The motif gathers stylised fruit in a lively, generous composition where yellow and red answer each other. It is a joyful drawing, almost childlike in its freshness, yet handled with the finesse of the house. Each piece is hand block-printed on good-quality cotton, in the artisan workshops of our partners in India, where block printing has been handed down through generations. The design is created in France.
A placemat dresses a table without covering it. Laid on bare wood, it wakes up the timber and gives each guest a place of their own. Over a white or natural tablecloth, it adds a square of colour that lifts the whole setting.
It is perfect for a weekend breakfast, a summer table open to the garden, or a meal thrown together with friends. Stacked in a drawer, it is always ready.
This cotton placemat yellow and red is made for real use. The cotton is hard-wearing and machine washable, it grows softer with time while keeping the brightness of its colours, and it takes spills, crumbs and busy tables in its stride. Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it keeps its shape and its cheer.
Its good humour works with plain white china as happily as with colourful plates. You can pair it with the matching Tutti Frutti napkins and tablecloth.
Left alone on a wooden table, it is often enough to lift a grey morning.
An artisanal, cheerful and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who likes lively tables and is not afraid of colour.
