Place mats make your set table feel more inviting while protecting the surface and dampening sound. This one is made from natural jute fibres with hand embroidery in contrasting black and white.
Product details
IKEA collaborates with social businesses around the world to design unique products which create jobs for people that needs it the most.
This product is made by Classical in Bangladesh – a social business which, through its production of objects in jute, creates jobs and a steady income for women in rural areas.
The undyed jute creates a rustic expression that is enhanced by the handwoven texture.
The small embroidery in black and white along the edge is hand-embroidered in cotton threads.
Protects the table top surface and reduces noise from plates and cutlery.

"I love working with the MÄVINN collections since all the creating occurs in collaboration with skilled social businesses. This year's theme is table settings, which sparked the idea of integrating something edible – and figs felt like a perfect choice. The caterpillar acts as a small mascot and becomes different striped patterns in the design. I love how the organic materials harmonise with the bold colours and hope you will appreciate the craftsmanship behind each piece."
