Description
The sunflower is summer in a single flower: the heat, the light, the great fields that follow the sun. This cotton placemat blue and yellow makes it the subject, with a bright yellow shining against a deep blue, in a contrast full of energy.
Each piece is hand block-printed on good-quality cotton, in the artisan workshops of our partners in India, where block printing is a craft handed down through generations. Every impression carries the small variations of the gesture, the mark of a genuinely handmade textile rather than an industrial print. The design is created in France, in the solar, Mediterranean spirit that runs through the collection.
A placemat is the lightest way to lay a table. Set on bare wood, it brings light to the timber and gives each guest a place of their own. Over a white or natural tablecloth, it adds a square of colour that wakes up the whole setting.
Outdoors, on a garden table, it comes fully into its own on long summer lunches. Stacked in a drawer, it is ready in seconds.
This cotton placemat blue and yellow keeps all its promises. The cotton is hard-wearing and machine washable, it grows softer with time while keeping the brightness of its colours, and it takes shared dishes 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 pottery and a room open to the garden, as well as a plainer interior it comes to lift. You can pair it with the matching Sunflower napkins and tablecloth.
An artisanal, sunlit and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who likes tables that bring a little sunshine, even in the depths of winter.
