The Babassu is a palm tree native to the Amazon forest, and Erja Hirvi's print of the same name captures the breezy beauty of its leaves. Simple, imperfect strokes give the design a hand-drawn beauty in shades of white, black, and blue. Here, it's featured on a beautiful and convenient placemat. Acrylic-coated cotton makes minor messes easily wiped clean, but also allows it to be machine washable for more major spills.
