Laminated placemat: 40 × 28 cm in sets of 2 or 4
The laminated placemat is offered in a compact 40 × 28 cm format, available in sets of 2 or 4 pieces. Five designs are available: Tea Red, Tea Green, Cutlery Red, Cutlery Green, and Multi-color. This range is particularly well-suited for small tables, dining nooks, and daily use where you want to define the place setting without occupying too much tabletop depth.
The 40 × 28 cm format is less deep than a standard 30 × 45 cm placemat. It is therefore a great choice if your table is narrow or if you wish to keep more space in the center for dishes. The choice between two and four pieces depends on how many guests you regularly set the table for.
40 × 28 cm: how to check if the size is right for you?
Measure your main dinner plate. A 24 to 26 cm plate will take up a large portion of the 28 cm depth, leaving a compact frame. The 40 cm width allows you to arrange the plate and cutlery without spreading each setting too far along the edge of the table.
Before choosing your laminated placemat, mentally trace a 40 × 28 cm rectangle on your tabletop: this check is particularly useful for a shallow kitchen table.
Set of 2
For a tête-à-tête, a dining nook, breakfast for two, or to complete an existing set.
Set of 4
For a family table of four or to have a coordinated set for everyday use.
Red, green, or multi-color: which mood to choose?
The Tea Red and Cutlery Red versions add a warm touch and stand out well on light wood, beige, or a white tablecloth. Tea Green and Cutlery Green create a more natural table setting, easy to pair with wood, ecru, and cream-colored dinnerware. The Multi-color model is suitable if you want a more vibrant decor with simple plates.
The laminated placemat works best when the rest of the table does not feature many busy patterns. If you choose a decorative variant, keep the napkins and tablecloth relatively plain.
What is the difference between the “Tea” and “Cutlery” designs?
The choice mainly concerns the visual theme. The “Tea” variants are naturally suited for breakfast, brunch, or a coffee corner, while the “Cutlery” variants easily integrate into a full meal. However, nothing prevents you from using the pattern you like at any time of the day.
If you use four pieces, repeating the same design at each place creates a more consistent table. For a duo, two identical placemats are enough to create a true sense of unity.
How to place a compact placemat on a narrow table?
Keep a few centimeters between the bottom edge of the placemat and the edge of the table. Center the plate and let the cutlery slightly overhang the sides if necessary. Thanks to the 28 cm depth, you can preserve a more generous central area for a carafe, a salad bowl, or serving dishes.
The laminated placemat can also be used on a coffee table, desk, or small island when space does not allow for a large format.
With or without a tablecloth?
Directly on the tabletop, the design remains clearly visible and the table retains much of its visible surface. On a white, beige, or plain tablecloth, the red and green variants stand out more. A table runner can complete the center if its width remains compatible with the 28 cm depth of the placemats.
Care and storage
For care, follow the instructions provided on the product. Wipe away crumbs and stains quickly, use a sponge or soft cloth, and avoid abrasive products that could mark the finish.
Let the pieces dry before storing them and keep them flat whenever possible. For very hot pots and dishes, use a dedicated trivet.
