PLACEMATS

What is a placemat?

Placemats or kitchen table mats are practical and decorative pieces of fabric or woven materials in various shapes that you put under a place setting to protect the table from stains and spills, as well as enhance your table setting. Table mats are a great alternative to tablecloths, or they can be used at the same time.

Placemat materials: plastic, vinyl, cloth, natural fibers

Placemat variations usually range in materials from plastic, and vinyl to cloth and natural fibers. Kouboo's artisans have mastered the latter, offering a stunning collection of natural placemats andplacemat sets, handwoven from rattan, nito vines, or sisal in Hapao style, offering durability and longevity. 

These natural placemats are designed for everyday use—a clear lacquer finish over the tightly woven placemats makes for easy clean-up by wiping each kitchen table mat with a damp cloth.
