Citrus green Placemat

Green and citrus is a promise of zesty freshness, like a lime squeezed over a summer day. This printed placemat green makes it a signature: luminous citrus fruit set on a bright green ground, in a composition full of energy and cheer.

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 luminous, Mediterranean spirit dear to the house.

A placemat dresses a table without covering it. Laid on bare wood, it brings freshness and life to the timber and gives each guest a place of their own. Over a plain tablecloth, it frames each plate with a bright square of colour.

Outdoors, on a terrace table in the shade, it comes fully into its own. Stacked in a drawer, it is ready in seconds.

This printed placemat green 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 summer lunches, long afternoons and shared dishes without fuss. Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it keeps its shape and its brightness.

It works with white china, pale wood, natural materials and a sunlit room. You can pair it with the matching Citrus napkins and tablecloth to compose the whole table around one motif.

Left alone on a wooden table, it carries a whole summer atmosphere on its own.

An artisanal, fresh and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who likes tables as bright as a just-cut citrus.
