Marimekko's prints have the ability to merge modern and retro in a timeless way. Called Alku (Initial), the design by Maija Louekari depicts the seeds from which the flowers of her Eläköön Elämä pattern grew. Here, it's printed on a 100% cotton placemat to bring a pop of print to the table. Acrylic-coated cotton makes minor messes easily wiped clean, but also allows it to be machine washable for more major spills. It feels coarser than untreated cotton, but still feels like fabric and not like vinyl of earlier placemats. Plus, the eco-friendly treatment helps to avoid wrinkling when folded!
Care: Machine washable. Follow instructions on tag.
