Description
Some objects bring light to a table, even on a grey morning. This placemat red and yellow is one of them. The pomegranate motif bursts across it in repeated forms, hand block-printed with wooden blocks, with the slight irregularity that betrays the human gesture and gives block printing all its value.
The pomegranate draws on an ancient imagery, dear to Mediterranean and Eastern textiles. A symbol of abundance, this fruit of countless seeds dresses the cotton with a frank vitality. The warm red asserts itself without harshness, tempered by touches of yellow that recall summer sun and southern terraces. The design is created in France, then printed in the artisan workshops of our partners in India.
A placemat dresses a table without covering it. Laid on bare wood, it brings a joyful note of colour and gives each guest a place of their own. Over a white or natural tablecloth, it frames each plate cleanly.
On a long table, the repeated motif creates a warm rhythm, like a series of small paintings. Stacked in a drawer, it is always ready.
This placemat red and yellow is made for real use. The cotton is hard-wearing and machine washable, it grows softer with time while keeping its colour and its shape. Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it stays crisp season after season.
It works with plain white china, worn metal cutlery and a sunlit room, as well as a plainer interior it comes to wake up. You can pair it with the matching Pomegranate napkins and tablecloth.
Left alone on a wooden table, it brings a whole Mediterranean atmosphere with it.
An artisanal, colourful and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who likes to lay a table even midweek.
