Natural and grey cotton placemats, set of 2

Description

This set of hand-woven cotton placemats reveals the texture of the fiber and features slight variations in weave, tension, and tone. The hand-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, adding 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 with different finishes, and can be used alone or mixed with other colors. Lorena Canals' craftsmanship ensures that no two pieces are exactly alike. With use and delicate washing, the cotton becomes softer and takes on 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 for dressing an everyday table with a small gesture and that they give 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.
