{"product_id":"lam-rectangular-placemats-natural-set-of-4","title":"Lam Rectangular Placemats - Natural - Set of 4","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eA set of four table mats woven from water hyacinth, each 46cm by 35cm and a centimetre thick. The outline is a rectangle with the corners rounded right off, so the edge curves rather than turning. The weave runs as a series of concentric rings, a braided outer border working inwards ring by ring to a small oval at the centre, and because the dried stems vary from pale straw to a mid brown the rings read as a pattern rather than as a plain field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForty six by thirty five centimetres takes a dinner plate with room either side for cutlery and a glass. Four set a table for four. At a centimetre thick the set stacks down to almost nothing in a drawer, and the rounded outline leaves no corner to catch on as they are pulled out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe material is water hyacinth, a river weed and an unwelcome one in the waterways of Vietnam, where the mats are woven. Cutting and drying it turns a nuisance in the water into the material for the mat. Nothing is dyed: all the colour across a mat is the natural variation in the stems, so the four in a set will not repeat one another. The Lam range also runs to a round mat and a set of coasters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater Hyacinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many mats come in a set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is one mat?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e46 by 35cm, and a centimetre thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are they made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater hyacinth, a river weed, cut and dried and then woven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre they dyed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The shading across a mat is the natural colour of the dried stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat else is in the range?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA round Lam mat and a set of Lam coasters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I look after them?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpot clean only, with a damp cloth.
