Description
The Pengandan placemat is round, gold and made from plastic, measuring 38cm across. Its face is worked into fine raised ribs that sweep over the surface in a gentle wave, so the gold picks up the light from different angles instead of looking flat. It is a thin, light sheet, weighing just 0.09KG, which makes it easy to lift, stack and put away between meals. At 38cm across, it leaves a broad border of gold showing around a plate set in the middle, framing each place setting neatly.
We see it first on the dining table: set one at each place and a plain white dinner service looks dressed for an occasion, while the wave pattern keeps the gold lively. It suits everyday meals at the kitchen table just as well as a festive dinner with family and friends, and a single mat makes a neat base for a vase or a bowl of fruit on a sideboard or console. The warm metallic colour sits happily against marble, pale wood and white linen, and it pairs nicely with gold or brass cutlery. As a piece of tableware for the home, it belongs indoors.
The mat is made from plastic, with the gold colour carried right across its ribbed face out to a clean round edge. Plastic does not absorb liquid the way a fabric mat does, so drips and crumbs stay on the surface, and a soft, damp cloth is the gentle way to clear them away. Because it is so thin and light, a set stacks neatly in a drawer or cupboard without taking much room. We would buy one for each place setting, plus a spare or two for the middle of the table.
