Placemat Table Mat Round Made of Raffia (Set of 2, 4 or 6) URUP

Urup is a high-quality placemat made from sun-bleached raffia fibres. This unique material is characterized by its soft yet robust structure. Urup stands out with its fascinating multicolor: the combination of fibres dried under the warm sun for different amounts of time creates a harmonious interplay of lighter and darker tones.

Thanks to its simple round design, the placemat can be used wonderfully in many different application scenarios, but we particularly like Urup as an accessory for the garden: on warm summer evenings, it becomes a stylish companion for socializing with friends and family outdoors, not only creating a natural atmosphere, but also bringing timeless elegance to your table.

Urup is available as a set of 2, 4 or 6.

Material: Raffia

Our placemats are made from plant fibers. They therefore wonderfully smell and feel like nature.

Raffia (Corypha utan) occurs naturally in the steppe and forest areas of Southeast Asia. About every two years, the plant renews its leaves and sheds the old ones, which are then collected by humans, dried in the sun for a few days to weeks and processed into wickerwork, depending on the desired degree of browning. The relative rarity and the higher processing effort make this material somewhat more expensive compared to other plant fibers. While it is hardly known in Europe, the material has proven itself with the local population in Southeast Asia in the form of all kinds of everyday objects and is very popular due to its pleasantly soft, but robust nature.
