Description
Holi is the Indian festival of colours, the moment when the sky fills with pigment thrown by the handful. This hand block print placemat green and red draws on that energy: a vibrant, joyful motif in which green and red meet in a composition full of life.
The nod is all the more fitting because each piece is made in India, in the artisan workshops of our partners, in the very place where Holi is celebrated and where block printing has been handed down through generations. The motif is printed by hand with wooden blocks on good-quality cotton, and every impression carries the small variations of the gesture. The design itself is created in France.
A placemat is the simplest way to bring colour to a table without covering it. Set on bare wood, it wakes up the timber and gives each guest a place of their own. Over a white or natural tablecloth, it adds a second layer of colour that structures the setting.
Outdoors, on a summer table, it comes fully into its own. Stacked in a drawer, it is always ready.
This hand block print placemat green and red is made for real use. The cotton is hard-wearing and machine washable, it grows softer with time while keeping the brightness of its colours, and it takes shared dishes and busy tables in its stride. Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it keeps its shape.
It speaks of celebration, of travel, of India and its colours. You can pair it with the matching Holi napkins and tablecloth.
Left alone on a wooden table, it brings a whole festive atmosphere with it.
An artisanal, vivid and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who likes tables with real presence and a sense of celebration.
