Jute Placemats and Coasters 4 Each Evil-Eye

Set the table with a little more texture and intention. This jute and cotton placemat and coaster set frames everyday plates and glasses with natural fibre, deep blue colour, and the watchful geometry of the evil eye motif.

At the table

• The round shape softens a table setting, giving each place its own calm, defined space.
• Jute brings a grounded, rope-like texture beneath plates, bowls and cups.
• The matching coasters carry the same blue centre, so the table feels considered without looking formal.
• The evil eye pattern adds a clear focal point, especially on simple wooden, white or stoneware tables.
• The colours feel fresh and coastal: deep blue outside, a pale ring through the middle, and a bright blue centre.

Jute and cotton from India

Made from cotton and jute, the set has the tactile look of coiled natural fibre with visible stitching between the colour bands. The finish is rustic rather than polished, which suits relaxed meals, slow breakfasts and tables that are meant to be used.

The blue eye motif

The design is built in concentric circles, echoing the evil eye symbol found across Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and South Asian visual culture. Traditionally, the motif is associated with watchfulness and protection, often placed in homes, doorways and jewellery as a symbolic guardian. Here, it becomes a simple table ritual: a familiar sign worked into something practical for daily meals.

How to use and care

Use the placemats under plates and bowls, and the coasters under cups or glasses. Avoid placing very hot pans or oven dishes directly on them.

Shake away crumbs after use. For marks, spot clean gently with a slightly damp cloth, then leave flat to dry fully. Jute is best kept away from soaking and prolonged damp.

Common questions

Can I use them as trivets?
They are intended as placemats and coasters. Use a proper trivet for very hot cookware.

Will the jute feel completely smooth?
No. Jute has a naturally textured, rope-like feel, which is part of its character and visual warmth.
