Natural cotton placemats, set of 2

Description

This set of hand-woven cotton placemats reveals the texture of the fiber and presents small variations in weave, tension, and tone. Manually stitched crosses add a discreet signature, while the rectangular format defines each place setting without creating a rigid composition. The color is integrated into the fabric itself and adds depth to the table.

The placemats protect the surface and allow wood, stone, or a lacquered finish to remain part of the ensemble. They work especially well with ceramics, glass, and cutlery of different finishes, and can be used alone or mixed with other colors. Lorena Canals' handmade craftsmanship means that no two pieces are exactly alike. With use and delicate washing, the cotton acquires a softer drape and an even more homely appearance.

Why we chose these placemats

We chose them because they transform a functional object into a piece with substance and character. We like that they allow you to dress an everyday table with a small gesture and that they give you the freedom to mix tableware and objects from different origins. They are a relaxed alternative to a continuous tablecloth and help create a warm, personal, and less uniform table.
