Alma grey red Table Runner

40,00  VAT INCLUDED

Some table linen you use out of habit, and some you choose because it says something. This block print table runner grey and red belongs to the second kind. It carries the signature Alma motif, a structured geometric composition punctuated with floral detail, in a frank balance between the deep grey of the ground and the intense red of the drawing.

Like every piece in the house, it is printed by hand with wooden blocks on good-quality cotton, in the artisan workshops of our partners in India. The gesture leaves its mark: slight variations from one impression to the next, that breath which block printing gives the fabric and which no industrial process can reproduce. The design itself is created in France, with an eye for a drawing that is both rigorous and warm.

Laid on bare wood, this runner gives the timber structure and colour without hiding it. Over a white or natural tablecloth, it adds a graphic band down the centre that frames dishes, candlesticks and glasses. On a sideboard or a console, it turns a bare surface into a composed one.

This block print table runner grey and red is made for real use. The cotton is hard-wearing and machine washable, it grows softer with time while keeping its shape and its colour, and it takes long dinners and everyday meals alike. Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it stays crisp season after season.

It works as happily in a pared-back interior as in an already colourful one. You can pair it with the matching Alma napkins, tablecloth and tea towels, carrying one motif from the table through to the kitchen.

An artisanal, graphic and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who likes tables with a clear character of their own.

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 block print table runner grey and red carries the signature Alma motif: a geometric structure lifted with floral detail, in a deep grey ground and a frank red. Printed by hand with wooden blocks in artisan workshops in India, from a French design, it lays a distinctive band down the centre of the table, over bare wood or a plain tablecloth. Hard-wearing and machine washable, it softens with use while keeping its colour, and coordinates with the matching Alma napkins and tablecloth. It suits a pared-back interior and an already colourful one equally well.
