Grey red Cornflower Set of 2 napkins

The cornflower grows freely in wheat fields, but this version takes it somewhere more refined. The napkin cornflower grey and red pairs the same light floral with a calmer grey ground and a note of character in red.

Each piece is hand block-printed on cotton in artisan workshops in India, from a design created in France. Hand block printing here is a craft passed down through generations, and every print carries the small variations of the maker's hand that set an artisanal textile apart from an industrial one. The pattern was drawn with a refined, countryside spirit in mind.

Day to day, this napkin does what a good table napkin should. The cotton is soft and absorbent, sits well at each place setting, and holds up to repeated washing. With time it softens further, without losing its colour.

It travels well between settings too, since a good table napkin should never be limited to one occasion. Kept in a drawer alongside its matching pieces, it moves easily from a quick weekday lunch to a table set with a little more care, always ready without needing much thought.

The grey and red of this napkin bring an elegant, understated character to the table. Folded simply by the plate or rolled into a wooden napkin ring, it works as well for a weekday meal as for a more considered dinner. It pairs naturally with white china, light wood and antique cutlery.

Choosing the napkin cornflower grey and red, you're choosing a versatile piece, useful and decorative, made to last.

It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves floral patterns in a quieter palette. An artisanal napkin, elegant and durable, made to accompany everyday meals as well as more dressed tables. Because a refined table deserves napkins that carry themselves with the same quiet character.
