Placemats: a new way to experience the table, with colours

“Put on its place”: this is what mise en place, an expression we nowadays often use to explain the way things are put on the table, means. But this translation does not do justice to a practice which is turning into a creative action, an expression of style and personality.

We are no longer dealing with classic white tablecloths and monochromatic plates; the table is currently an abundance of bright colours, daring contrasts and patterns which recall the beauty of nature. People feel like creating something unique, a thrilling table, full of life. Beyond any schemes and rules.

Elegant placemats: a unique collection by L’Oca Nera

When we speak about setting the table, we normally speak about tablecloths. Yet, they are not the only option. Runners and placemats have recently changed the way to set the table, making it more dynamic and casual.

L’Oca Nera’s placemats collection focuses on bright colours and sophisticated patterns, which wonderfully match the mise en place, creating pure beauty. Every placemat is a voyage through blooming gardens and exotic landscapes, through enchanting, tempting atmospheres.

These design placemats are created to be used any time, in causal or elegant occasions, becoming the tool to reinvent the table every day. They can be employed to define the space of every tablemate, or to create eye-catching areas where beauty and elegance become the undisputed protagonists of the table.

Design placemats: the features of L’Oca Nera’s collection

L’Oca Nera’s round and rectangular rigid placemats allow to set the table with ease and unconventionality. The classic tablecloth changes through these islands of colour which stylishly “host” cutlery and glasses. The placemat becomes the central element in the dining scenario.

This is also possible thanks to the placemats features:

• Unique, elegant design
Every placemat is a masterpiece of design, characterised by artistic motives, from bright orchids to luxuriant peonies. Thrilling colours and delicate lines create an eye-catching beauty which adds a touch of sophisticated elegance to any tables.

• First-rate materials
Manufactured with high quality materials, L’oca Nera’s rigid placemats are resistant and easy to clean. The material sturdiness insures the durability of their shape and beauty, making them perfect both for daily meals and for special occasions.

• Practicality and design
L’Oca Nera’s placemats are a decorative object able to elegantly transform the whole dining environment. Available in different sizes and shapes, they easily suit whatever interior designs and styles, from the most modern to the most traditional one.

Setting the table is nowadays an art: all its elements stay in the memory of the people who we invite to share our meals with us. Dedicating time and commitment to this aspect has therefore a value which exceeds the simple decoration: it means care and attention, it is a way to tell our guests “I am happy you are here, with me”.

This is the idea which bonds L’Oca Nera’s placemats: the idea that elegant, precious patterns and thrilling colours on the table can turn the simple act of eating into a ritual of beauty and refinement, a moment when art enters daily life.
