Giverny yellow red Placemat

15,00  VAT INCLUDED

There is a real difference between a motif laid down by a machine and one laid down by a hand. This hand block print placemat yellow and red shows it on every piece: the wooden block is inked, pressed, lifted and repositioned, and that patient repetition leaves tiny shifts everywhere that give the fabric its breath.

The Giverny motif calls to mind the gardens of impressionism, those beds overflowing with colour where flowers mingle in a joyful profusion. Yellow and red compose a picture full of life and light. The design is created in France, then printed in the artisan workshops of our partners in India, where the craft is handed down through generations.

A placemat dresses without covering. Laid on bare wood, it gives each guest a place of their own and leaves the timber visible all around. Over a white or natural tablecloth, it adds a square of colour that structures the setting.

On a long table, the repeated motif creates a rhythm. Stacked in a drawer, it comes out in seconds for an improvised meal.

This hand block print placemat yellow and red is made for real use. The cotton is hard-wearing and machine washable, it grows softer with time while keeping its colour, and it takes long meals and busy tables without fuss. Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it keeps its shape.

It works with white china, natural materials and a bright room. You can pair it with the matching Giverny napkins and tablecloth.

Left alone on a wooden table, it carries the whole setting on its own.

An artisanal, luminous and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who prefers objects that carry the trace of a hand rather than a machine.

Features

Material: 100% cotton.

Printing: traditional hand block printing, entirely carried out by hand in Jaipur, India.

Care

General care instructions for artisan-printed cotton table linen:

  • Machine wash at 30°C or 40°C maximum, on a gentle cycle, to help preserve the colours.
  • Do not use bleach or whitening products.
  • Avoid fabric softener, as it may dull the colours over time.
  • Iron on the reverse side of the fabric at a moderate temperature (cotton/wool setting) to preserve the vibrancy of the print.
  • Air dry preferably in the shade; avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which may cause the colours to fade.

This hand block print placemat yellow and red carries the Giverny motif, a luminous floral profusion pressed onto cotton with wooden blocks. Designed in France and made in artisan workshops in India, it marks out each guest’s place while leaving the wood of the table visible all around.

Machine washable and hard-wearing, it softens with use without losing its glow. Every piece carries the small variations of the gesture, and it coordinates with the matching Giverny napkins and tablecloth for a table dressed in one floral motif.
