Mono Placemats
Mono Placemats
Cool and contemporary, the Mono collection is a classic palette of black, grey and white.
These placemats are woven from the naturally durable grass Lutindzi which grows on the mountains of Swaziland. Lutindzi is harvested in January and pulled from the sheath, keeping the roots intact to ensure replenishment the following year. The grass is then dyed bright and beautiful colours using a certified organic textile dye.
Pair these with a matching table runner for a vibrant outdoor - or indoor - table setting.
