Description
Grey is a colour that knows how to set off the others. This printed placemat grey and red plays on that with finesse: an elegant grey ground on which red flowers glow like precious stones, in a motif that is rich yet never overloaded.
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, with an eye for a drawing that is both precious and balanced.
A placemat dresses without covering. Laid on bare wood, it brings a quiet elegance to the timber and gives each guest a place of their own. Over a white or natural tablecloth, it adds a note of colour and frames each plate cleanly.
On a sideboard, it turns an empty surface into something composed, under a lamp or a bowl of fruit. Stacked in a drawer, it is always ready.
This printed placemat grey 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 dinners and everyday meals alike. Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it keeps its shape and its glow.
It is one of those pieces that warm an interior without weighing it down, proof that useful linen can also be beautiful. You can pair it with the matching Flower Jewel napkins and tablecloth.
Left alone on a wooden table, it gives a weekday dinner a quiet sense of occasion.
An artisanal, elegant and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who likes tables with poise and quiet good taste.
