The Atlántico placemats feature a classic diamond weave and coiled border, hand-woven in Colombia from sun-dried iraca leaf by Andean artisans. The yellow colouring is not a dye but the natural result of leaving the cut iraca leaf to sun-dry in the high Andean valleys, a process that cannot be shortened. Each placemat carries the texture and warmth of a material shaped entirely by hand before it reaches the table. Sold as a set of 4.
Hand-woven in Colombia from sun-dried iraca leaf — the classic diamond weave and coiled border, in the warm yellow of a material that has been cut, dried, and woven by Andean artisans before it ever reaches a table.. The yellow of dried iraca is not a dye. It is what the leaf becomes when the weavers of the high Andean valleys leave it to the sun — a process that takes as long as it takes and cannot be hurried. JJ places this set of 4 placemats on a linen cloth, where the colour does exactly what it does in Colombia: catches the light and holds it
