Description
The wild strawberry is a small, discreet fruit, earned one by one at the edge of the paths. This cotton placemat wild strawberry makes it the subject: tiny red strawberries and tender green leaves, in a delicate, charming motif that recalls the woodland in high summer.
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, in the natural, tender spirit dear to the house.
A placemat dresses a setting without covering the table. Laid on bare wood, it brings a fresh, sweet note to the timber while giving each guest a place of their own. Over a white or natural tablecloth, it adds colour and a clear frame around each plate.
On a long table, the repeated motif creates a gentle rhythm. Stacked in a drawer, it is ready in seconds for an afternoon tea.
This cotton placemat wild strawberry is made to be used. The cotton is hard-wearing and machine washable, it grows softer with time while keeping its colour, and it copes calmly with red fruit, crumbs and family gatherings. Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it keeps its shape and its brightness.
It works with white china, natural materials, light wood and linen. You can pair it with the matching Wild Strawberry napkins and tablecloth to compose the whole table around one motif.
Left alone on a wooden table, it turns a simple afternoon tea into something special.
An artisanal, tender and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who likes tables as sweet as the fruit served on them.
