# Sweden Placemat — an artisanal touch to transform your table

## Make every meal more special with color, texture, and tradition

The Sweden Placemat brings the unique character of handcrafted textiles made in Ethiopia to your table. Handwoven in **100% cotton**, its striped pattern and striking colors add personality to the setting — whether for everyday use or special occasions.

More than just a table accent, each piece carries the tradition of a production process that is entirely handmade, from yarn preparation to weaving.

## A table with more personality — without giving up practicality

✓ **Handmade production that makes each piece unique**

Because it is a handwoven textile, slight variations may occur from one piece to another. Instead of a fully standardized industrial look, each placemat reflects the natural character of artisanal workmanship.

✓ **100% cotton**

The Sweden Placemat is made of cotton and uses low-impact reactive dyes that are AZO-free and REACH-certified.

✓ **A pattern designed to stand out in the composition**

The handcrafted work appears in the detailed striped pattern, creating a visual element that stands out on the table without losing its practical purpose as a placemat.

## Handmade in Ethiopia, from yarn to fabric

Behind each piece is a process tied to Ethiopia's long-standing weaving traditions.

The group of artisans in Addis Ababa works to create respectful, ethical, and sustainable job opportunities and to share the talent of its weavers with the world.

The process is carried out **entirely by hand, from yarn preparation to fabric weaving**. The hand-spun cotton is sourced from a network of women in the community, for whom this work can represent an additional source of income.

Weaving, in turn, has been part of Ethiopian culture for centuries, with knowledge passed down through generations.

## From craftsmanship to moments that deserve a beautifully set table

The set is ideal for different moments at the table: from everyday meals to gatherings and special occasions.

Its placemat format helps visually define each place setting, while the handcrafted design adds color and identity to the arrangement.

And you get **2 pieces**, making it easy to create a coordinated setting for two.

## Dimensions designed to complement every place setting

Each placemat measures approximately:

**20.5" long × 15" wide**

The shape allows the placemat to be placed individually at each seat, creating a defined base for the meal setting.

**The set includes 2 units.**

## Handmade in look. Practical in care.

Even though it is artisan-made, the Sweden Placemat comes with simple care instructions:

* **Machine wash cold**

* **Tumble dry**

* **Warm iron**

That way, the manual craftsmanship and visual presence of the fabric can be part of not only special occasions, but also everyday home life.
