Before dinner, you lay the table and place this naturally woven runner down the middle. The distinctive, gently earthy scent of vetiver root touches the room, and the table instantly takes on an intimate, natural mood. It was hand-woven by artisans in Yogyakarta — every centimeter shows the human touch.
What is vetiver root?
Vetiver is a subtropical grass whose long, fragrant roots have been valued for centuries in Indonesia and India. The roots are dried, woven, and turned into coasters, runners and scented panels. Its natural scent is restrained — woody and slightly sweet — and many people choose it specifically for that reason.
The length and function of this runner
It measures 180 cm long and 36 cm wide — ideal for a table that seats four to six. Placed down the middle, it accentuates the line of the table and provides a discreet backdrop for plates, candleholders and vases. It gives you a simple yet striking foundation for table-setting, suitable for both everyday meals and special occasions.
When and where to use it
For a holiday dinner, a family lunch, a garden party — anywhere you want to give the table a touch of natural dignity. It pairs beautifully with raw wood, terracotta, candles and woven elements, and fits Scandinavian, Japandi, boho and wabi-sabi interiors alike.
Cleaning and storage
Do not soak it and do not put it in the washing machine — prolonged moisture can weaken the fibers. Outside, shake it out gently or brush it with a soft brush. If the scent fades over time, you can refresh it with a few drops of pure vetiver essential oil. Store it in a dry, ventilated place out of direct light — that way it will keep its character for years.
