Pair of Round Raffia Placemats w/ Open Lattice Weave 15¼"

A pair of round raffia placemats — or heat mats, depending on the moment — from Chanteduc, Patricia and Walter Wells's farmhouse and cooking school in Vaison-la-Romaine, where they graced many a festive table over the years, shared with cooking school students and friends alike. Each mat is worked in an open lattice weave that spirals outward from a tightly coiled centre, the natural straw tones warm and consistent throughout. Patricia explains that setting a beautiful table is important, and that it's fun to use all of the pieces you've collected over time. Stack them on a kitchen shelf, use them singly or as a pair, indoors or out on a summer table — they carry the ease and warmth of Provence with them wherever they land.
