Green and red garden placemat

A garden in flower is never tidy, and that is exactly what makes it beautiful. This placemat green and red keeps that abundance: red blooms carried by deep green foliage, in a dense, joyful motif that recalls a border in high summer.

Like every piece in the collection, it 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 Garden design is created in France, in the warm, floral spirit of the house.

A placemat dresses without covering. Laid on bare wood, it warms the timber and gives each guest a place of their own. Over a white or natural tablecloth, it brings a second layer of colour and turns a plain setting into a composed one.

On a long table, the repeated motif creates a lively rhythm. Stacked in a drawer, it is always ready.

This placemat green and red is made to be used. The cotton is hard-wearing and machine washable, it grows softer with time while keeping its colour, and it takes long lunches and full tables without fuss. Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it keeps its shape and its brilliance.

It works with plain white china as happily as with more colourful tableware. You can pair it with the matching Garden napkins and tablecloth to compose the whole table around one motif.

Left alone on a wooden table, it turns a weekday meal into something worth sitting down for.

An artisanal, colourful and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who likes tables that feel alive and gatherings that run long.
