Water Hyacinth Placemat Black Tiger Pattern Fringed

• The woven surface adds a dry, natural texture beneath plates, bowls and glasses.
• The black tiger pattern brings movement to the table, especially against plain ceramics.
• The fringed edge gives the piece a softer outline than a sharply bound placemat.
• It suits natural wood, stoneware, linen napkins and simple glassware.
• The lightweight feel makes it easy to lift, clear and layer between meals.

It is handcrafted by artisans in Indonesia from water hyacinth, a plant fibre valued for its woven texture and natural character. The surface has the quiet irregularity that makes handmade table pieces feel alive, with small variations forming part of its charm.

The design plays with contrast: pale natural fibre against a dark, animal-inspired pattern. It has presence without needing a complicated table setting, and works well when you want one strong detail to anchor the meal.

Place it under plates, bowls or serving pieces as part of a table setting. It is a natural fibre placemat, not a tested heatproof trivet, so avoid placing very hot cookware directly on it.

Shake off crumbs after use and wipe small marks gently with a dry or lightly damp cloth. Keep it dry between uses, and avoid soaking, machine washing or leaving it in prolonged damp conditions.
