Description
This set of hand-woven cotton placemats reveals the fiber's texture and features slight variations in weave, tension, and tone. Hand-stitched crosses add a subtle 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 of different finishes, and can be used alone or mixed with other colors. Lorena Canals' artisanal craftsmanship means no two pieces are exactly alike. With use and delicate washing, the cotton gains 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 up an everyday table with a small gesture and 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.
