{"product_id":"elegant-noir-linen-placemat","title":"Elegant Noir Linen Placemat","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Elegant Noir Linen Placemat is a 30 x 45cm placemat in premium linen, in a deep black. The dark ground makes plated food stand out sharply. Gentle cold machine wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack under a plate does something worth understanding before choosing it. It maximises contrast, so pale food and white china read vividly against it, which is why restaurants use dark surfaces for plating. At home the same effect makes an ordinary meal look considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is that black is less forgiving of crumbs and lint than a mid-tone, so it wants a shake-out between courses. Linen handles the frequent washing that implies, softening rather than degrading. At 30 x 45cm the proportions take a full dinner setting. It suits a formal table, but it works just as well making a weeknight meal feel deliberate, which is arguably the better use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biku Living \u0026 Design","offers":[{"title":"30 X 45cm \/ Black","offer_id":44631324393686,"sku":"21W077","price":8.25,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/4688\/products\/elegant-noir-linen-placemat-712974.webp?v=1699557088","url":"https:\/\/biku-2.myshopify.com\/products\/elegant-noir-linen-placemat","provider":"Biku Living \u0026 Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
