The Beaded Placemat is a round 30 cm table mat, hand-woven from glossy black beads laid out in concentric circles. Fine radial stitching in a warm contrasting tone runs from the centre to the edge — in the photographs it shows as copper lines against the black.
Size and making
The mat is 30 cm across, 1 cm thick and weighs 260 g. Compare the diameter with the plates you use every day: it decides whether a visible ring of beads is left around the plate. Each placemat is woven and finished entirely by hand in Indonesia, so tone and small details can vary slightly from one piece to the next.
Care
Bazar Bizar recommends wiping the mat with a soft, dry cloth before or after use, and cleaning it with a damp cloth and drying it thoroughly when it gets dirty.
The Beaded Collection also includes the same placemat in gold, along with other beaded pieces such as bowls and baskets.
