Grey red Cornflower placemat
15,00 € VAT INCLUDED
The cornflower is a wild flower of the fields, simple and free, growing at the edge of the wheat. This cotton placemat grey and red keeps that country spirit: a light motif of field flowers set on a soft grey ground and lifted with red, in a natural composition that is easy to live with.
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. 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 that warm, country spirit dear to the house.
A placemat is the lightest way to lay a table. Set on bare wood, it gives each guest a place of their own and leaves the timber visible all around. Over a white or natural tablecloth, it brings definition without weight.
On a kitchen island or a console, it dresses a bare surface in seconds. Stacked in a drawer, it is always ready.
This cotton placemat grey and red is made to be used rather than saved. The cotton is hard-wearing and machine washable, it grows softer with time while keeping its colour, and it takes everyday meals and family gatherings in its stride. Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it keeps its shape wash after wash.
It works with white china, stoneware, wood and linen, settling naturally into any interior. You can pair it with the matching Cornflower napkins and tablecloth.
Left alone on a wooden table, it needs nothing more than a jug of wild flowers to feel complete.
An artisanal, understated and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who likes tables that are simple, beautiful and true.

Care
General care instructions for artisan-printed cotton table linen:
- Machine wash at 30°C or 40°C maximum, on a gentle cycle, to help preserve the colours.
- Do not use bleach or whitening products.
- Avoid fabric softener, as it may dull the colours over time.
- Iron on the reverse side of the fabric at a moderate temperature (cotton/wool setting) to preserve the vibrancy of the print.
- Air dry preferably in the shade; avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which may cause the colours to fade.
