Discover the story behind our Kantha placemats: An ode to craftsmanship and eco-responsibility At the heart of every Caravane product, beats a passion for authenticity, creativity and respect for nature. Kantha placemats perfectly embody this philosophy, diving into a world where craftsmanship and eco-responsibility merge to create unique and captivating pieces.
The story begins with an environmentally friendly gesture. The Kantha cotton placemat brings subtlety and harmony to the table and will combine wonderfully with the Mordorées or Laurier tableware from the Morga, Milky Way or Ecume ranges.
The process that follows is a journey through centuries of craftsmanship. The patinated blankets become blank canvases for our vegetable block printing technique.
This method gives life to a palette of natural and harmonious colors, a tribute to the beauty of nature.
craft history
Block printing is more than just a technique - it's a ritual that breathes life into each Kantha placemat. A layer of precisely applied clay creates the resist design, followed by careful fixation using sawdust. Finally, the application of vegetable dye provides the finishing touch, sealing the story of each placemat in a swirl of organic color.
