Artisanal Weave Natural Dining Mat

The Artisanal Weave Natural Dining Mat is a 30 x 45cm handwoven mat in a natural tone. The weave gives it texture that a printed mat cannot match. Shake off crumbs and spot clean as needed.

A woven mat behaves differently to a flat textile one. The texture is structural rather than printed, so it catches light across the surface and gives a table setting something tactile before anyone picks up a fork.

That texture is also why the care is different. Rather than machine washing, these want a shake-out and spot cleaning, which is less convenient but keeps the weave from distorting. The natural undyed tone sits with essentially any tableware, which makes it the most flexible of the placemat options. It leans rustic, though against plain white china it reads more contemporary than you might expect. Handwoven, so slight irregularities in the weave are inherent to the making.
