Description
Cornflowers grow freely at the edge of the fields, among the wheat and the wild grasses. This placemat yellow and green keeps that meadow spirit, but in a luminous palette, like a field bathed in early summer light.
Each piece is hand block-printed on good-quality cotton, in the artisan workshops of our partners in India, where block printing has been handed down through generations. The slight irregularity of the gesture gives the fabric a life of its own, those small variations that mark out a genuinely handmade textile. The design is created in France, in the natural, country spirit that runs through the collection.
A placemat dresses a setting without covering the table. Laid on bare wood, it brings freshness to the timber and gives each guest a place of their own. Over a white or natural tablecloth, it adds a band of colour that lifts the whole setting, especially at the end of winter.
On a long table, the repeated motif creates an easy rhythm. On a kitchen island or a console, it composes a bare surface in seconds.
This placemat yellow and green is made for real use. The cotton is hard-wearing and machine washable, it grows softer over time while keeping the freshness of its colours, and it takes summer lunches and family meals without fuss. Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it keeps its shape.
It sits beautifully with white china, light wood, linen and other natural materials, and needs very little around it: a jug of wild flowers and a few glasses are enough. You can pair it with the matching Cornflower napkins and tablecloth.
An artisanal, fresh and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who likes tables that smell of the countryside.
