Crafted by the Lambadis of Tamil Nadu
Using embroidery to replicate the traditional appliqué craft form, the artisans have used an open stitch technique to give our placemats a light and casual feel. Appliqué work, in combination with other forms of stitches and embellishments would have traditionally been used in several parts of India to decorate marriage costumes, wall hangings and quilts.
We also produced these placemats in another color combination, using cream thread on beige linen. Use the matching Petal Napkins together with these placemats for a timelessly styled look.
More table setting ideas can be found on our Design Inspiration pages.
It takes a several days to complete each piece. While the design and technique are the same, each artisan has her own way of applying each stitch, making each piece unique in its own special way.
The Lambadi artisans are part of a group of around 50 women. Each woman works out of the comfort of her own home, allowing her to maintain a work-life balance.
