Hand-woven in Colombia from sun-dried iraca leaf — the classic diamond weave and coiled border, in the warm yellow of a material that has been cut, dried, and woven by Andean artisans before it ever reaches a table.

The yellow of dried iraca is not a dye. It is what the leaf becomes when the weavers of the high Andean valleys leave it to the sun — a process that takes as long as it takes and cannot be hurried. JJ places this set of 4 placemats on a  linen cloth, where the colour does exactly what it does in Colombia: catches the light and holds it

Inspiration
The iraca palm grows in the high Andean valleys of Colombia and nowhere else with quite the same character. The women who weave it have been doing so for five centuries — cutting the leaf before it fully opens, working it strand by strand into a diamond weave so precise it has never been improved upon by any industrial process that has tried. The technique passed from mother to daughter without ever being written down.

What arrives on your table from those valleys is more than a placemat. It is five centuries of accumulated history and heritage. Once you have eaten from a table set with iraca, a bare table feels like an oversight.
