The placemat impresses with its cheerful, colorful stripes, which are woven in four different ways and can be found on a blue or olive-colored background to form checks. This naturally makes the placemat ideal for balconies and terraces, but the robust set also looks good in rustic interiors. The quality and weave correspond to the checkered tablecloth (with a white background) and the colorful checkered table runner (with a dark blue background) from Tissage de Luz, which you can also find in our range. The dense canvas fabric consists of 60 percent organic cotton and 40 percent durable linen. Please note that the sets will shrink in the first wash due to the high linen content.

The Basque weaving mill Tissage de Luz not only excels at the craft of weaving but also at playing with colors and patterns. Stripes, in particular, seem to have captured the designers’ (and our) imagination. While stripe patterns are among the simplest in terms of weaving technique, in Tissage de Luz’s home textiles they convey a sense of exceptional craftsmanship. The stylish striped patterns, with their fresh colors and skillful combinations, really lift your spirits and add colorful accents and a modern, original touch to interiors, patios, and balconies.

The origins of Tissage de Luz date back to 1908, when Jean-Baptiste Gouze, the son of a hand weaver, founded one of the first mechanical weaving mills in the Basque Country. He produced sturdy textiles such as the traditional “mantes à bœufs,” as well as fine table linens, which even back then were distinguished by their extraordinary, sophisticated patterns and details. Today, the fifth generation is at the helm of the company. The fabrics’ original designs and their exceptional quality reflect a passion for aesthetics and a deep understanding of the traditional art of weaving passed down through generations. Production continues to take place in France, covering the entire production chain: from design through dyeing, warping, and weaving to finishing. Natural materials such as linen and certified organic cotton are used.
