White blue Pomegranate placemat

White and blue is the simple elegance of porcelain, of old faience and light-filled dining rooms. This cotton placemat white and blue plays that card with finesse: pomegranates drawn in blue on a white ground, in a fresh, crisp motif full of character.

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, with an eye for a clear, elegant drawing.

A placemat dresses a table without hiding it. Set on bare wood, it draws a bright frame around each plate and leaves the timber visible all around. Over a natural or white tablecloth, it adds definition and a note of colour.

On a sideboard or a console, it turns a bare surface into a composed one. Stacked in a drawer, it is ready in seconds for an unplanned meal.

This cotton placemat white and blue is easy to live with. The cotton is hard-wearing and machine washable, it grows softer over time while keeping its colour, and it copes calmly with everyday meals and long dinners. Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it keeps its crispness wash after wash.

It is one of those quiet pieces that refresh a room without shouting for attention, working with white china, blue faience, light wood and natural materials. You can pair it with the matching Pomegranate napkins and tablecloth.

Left alone on a wooden table, it is often enough to make an ordinary meal feel considered.

An artisanal, elegant and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who likes clear, luminous tables and settings that feel calm rather than crowded.
