Here, the nobility of the material and the care of the finishes are visible at first glance: 100% cotton , 100% handmade , and a classic aesthetic that transcends fashions.

What makes this set different
-
Natural material : pure cotton, breathable, pleasant to the touch, suitable for daily use.
-
Handcrafted : Each piece is handcrafted, with a regular pattern and neat edges.
-
Eco-responsible approach : choice of sustainable fibers, simple finishes, longevity promoted by simple maintenance.
-
Bright white tint : highlights light or dark plates, and provides an immediate feeling of order.
Possible shapes, sizes and combinations
This white placemat is available in several silhouettes to suit all tables and all settings:
-
Octagonal : graphic geometry that structures the cover while remaining visually soft.
-
Variant 1: Oval : Soft lines, perfect for round or oval tables, or to soften a rectangular top.
-
Variant 2: oblong : rectangular with rounded corners, ideal on a narrow top or kitchen table.
Two sizes cover most uses: 35 x 50 cm for a complete set (plate, cutlery, glass) and 14 x 20 cm as a small matching placemat (saucer, dessert bowl, small board). Combine a large size for each guest and place the small sizes under the water glasses or as a bread holder: the table becomes more readable and comfortable to use.
Pairing tips: how to create a successful white table without making it look cold
White loves measured contrasts. On light wood, it highlights the grain and brings out cream-colored plates. On a dark table, it creates very elegant light islands. For a warm look, add a linen-colored cotton gauze napkin, a branch of foliage, and a few low candles. For a ceremony, repeat the pattern across the entire table and slip a handwritten place card onto the plate: the whole thing looks polished, without being overly cluttered. During the week, pair your white placemat with simple dishes and clear glasses: it's clean, easy, and effective.
Everyday ergonomics
A good placemat should be set up quickly, cleaned quickly, and put away quickly. The hand lightly catches the cotton weave; the plate remains stable; the cutlery makes less noise. The white allows crumbs and stains to be spotted at a glance, which facilitates immediate cleaning after the meal. The proposed formats leave space for glasses and avoid overlapping in the center of the table; each one has a clear, clearly defined area. The result: smoother service and a table that remains presentable in all circumstances.
Maintenance and longevity
Cotton is easy to live with, provided you adopt a few reflexes:
- Shake off the crumbs then wash gently by hand (or in a net, gentle cycle) with a suitable detergent.
- Rinse without twisting, dry flat to preserve the geometry and design of the weft.
- Lightly iron on the reverse side if necessary. Avoid harsh bleaching agents; to revive the shine, an active oxygen-based agent is sufficient.
Tip: Alternate two sets of placemats. Wear is spread out, the whiteness is preserved, and the table stays spotless day after day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pieces to choose?
Plan on 4 pieces for everyday use, 6 to 8 if you entertain often, plus 2 as a backup. Add a few small 14 x 20 cm placemats for glasses or the sides of dishes.
Is white dirty?
Above all, it saves time : you can immediately see what needs to be wiped off. A gentle wash after an incident and the whiteness returns. Avoid letting a greasy stain dry; act quickly for a perfect result.
Does the set slide on a very smooth table?
Cotton provides a natural grip. If the tabletop is heavily varnished, a thin, transparent, non-slip underlay can be added without altering the aesthetics.
Is it suitable for patterned dishes?
Yes. White serves as a backdrop. It calms patterns and highlights decor, provided you keep accessories simple (a single shade of napkin is enough).
In summary
Natural, bright, and durable, the white placemat provides a reliable base for setting and protecting your table. Its choice of shapes, two complementary sizes, and careful craftsmanship make it a must-have that's easy to integrate into any home and for any occasion.
