Question 1

What exactly is this placemat made from?

Accepted Answer

The placemat is made from water hyacinth — a tropical aquatic plant — through a hand-spinning and hand-weaving process. Water hyacinth fibres develop a natural brown tone and a characteristic textured surface. Because it is handcrafted, each piece is unique — the pattern of the fibres and the exact shade may vary slightly between individual items.

Question 2

What can this placemat be used for?

Accepted Answer

At 50 x 35 cm, this placemat is excellent for the dining table — it comfortably accommodates a plate, cutlery, and a glass. It is also suitable for decorative use: placed under candles, vases, crystals, or potted plants, it creates a natural, bohemian atmosphere in the home. The durable material and fringed edge also make it well suited as a standalone home decor element.

Question 3

How should it be cleaned?

Accepted Answer

The water hyacinth placemat is best cleaned by hand washing or with a damp cloth. Avoid strong detergents, as these can damage the natural fibres. After cleaning, lay it flat on a horizontal surface and allow it to dry naturally to prevent deformation. Machine washing is not recommended.
