Description
This is a set of four placemats woven from seagrass and cotton, in a Natural colour that keeps the grassy tones of the fibre. Each mat is 45cm long and 33cm wide, a generous rectangle with room to spare on a table top. Bands of cotton run the length of every mat between the rows of seagrass, and at both short ends the cotton is left loose as a tasselled fringe, so the pattern sits in the weave itself rather than being printed on.
Laid along a kitchen table, the four mats bring a natural, textured layer to bare wood, and their Natural colour sits easily with oak, pine and painted finishes alike. They are just as useful away from the table: one under a potted plant or a vase on a sideboard, another on a desk beneath a lamp base or a stack of books, or a pair on an open shelf to soften the hard lines of wood or metal. They suit a relaxed country or coastal look and work as well in a kitchen as in a conservatory, a hallway or a living room. When you want the table bare again, they roll up and tuck into a drawer.
Each mat is woven from seagrass, a grass fibre with a firm, slightly uneven surface, with cotton worked through it in bands and finished as fringe at the short ends. Seagrass is a natural material, so small differences in tone and texture from one mat to the next are part of its character. For the most relaxed look, lay them straight onto bare wood rather than over a cloth, so the grassy texture and the fringe both show; the styling props shown are not included.
