Whether you are setting a family lunch or a dinner with friends, it protects the surface, reduces the noise of the cutlery and gives a fresh look to the presentation.
Why choose this rectangular placemat?
Because it simplifies everything: quick installation, quick maintenance, impeccable hold. The selected PVC offers a regular grain, pleasant to the touch, which does not retain crumbs or stains. Resistant to water and sauces , it can be wiped clean in one go after the meal. The rectangular shape, very readable, helps to place the plate in the center, to align the glasses and to maintain a comfortable space between two guests. In addition, this set is eco-responsible in its design and is available in stock in sets of 4 or sets of 6 to adapt to your table habits.
30 × 45 cm format: the perfect size
30 x 45 cm is the standard measurement for most table settings: dinner plate, soup plate, cutlery, and a balloon glass fit together without overlapping. On a narrower table, position the placemat lengthwise to free up space for the dishes. On a large tray, align the edge of the placemat 1 cm from the edge of the table for a clean finish, then leave 3 to 5 cm between two places: circulation is smooth, the glasses do not clink.
Material and comfort of use
PVC offers a beautiful balance: flexible enough to hug the tray, firm enough to lie flat. Its firm, closed surface is water and oil repellent : liquids bead up, stains are effortlessly removed. The contact is neither too smooth nor sticky: the plate holds, the cutlery slides just right. For outdoor use, the set is perfectly suitable provided it is brought inside to dry after use to preserve the edges.
Storage and maintenance
After the meal, a simple wipe with a soapy sponge is enough. Rinse, dry, and that's it. The set can be washed directly under water and dries quickly in the open air . For storage, roll it up without forcing: it regains its flatness as soon as it is put back in place. Avoid abrasive sponges and excessive heat. As with any set, hot dishes coming out of the oven must be placed on a dedicated trivet.
Style, colors and staging
The discreet PVC weave adds depth without upstaging the tableware. On light wood, opt for a soft shade to extend the natural effect. On a dark top, a contrasting color emphasizes the contours and highlights the plate. To create a visual rhythm, alternate two shades within the same table: two light place settings, two more substantial ones. Add a cotton napkin and a tinted glass: the table gains depth without appearing cluttered.
Pack of 4 or 6: how to choose?
The set of 4 covers a week for a household of two to three people. The set of 6 is suitable if you entertain regularly or if you like to set a complete table, with two spare pieces. The advantage of the rectangular design: it can be easily combined with other materials (linen, faux leather) to differentiate the ends of the table or the centerpiece.
Expert tips for a flawless table
Start by dusting the tray: a clean placemat on a clean surface retains its color longer. Align the edges of the placemats for a professional look. Place the plate 2 cm from the bottom edge of the placemat: the service line becomes harmonious. If you're short on space, move the glasses slightly forward on the top of the placemat: they remain stable and free up the centerpiece.
