Immerse your dining experience in the timeless charm of Southern Italy with Morpho + Luna's exclusive placemats, where artisanal heritage meets modern elegance. These placemats are not just a dining accessory; they are a piece of Italian history, woven into existence at a family-owned mill in Puglia, a testament to over three generations of textile artistry.

Each piece is a celebration of traditional 'punch card' techniques, brought to life on shuttle looms that dance under the guidance of jacquard machines, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike. 

The crowning glory of each placemat is the bespoke tombolo lace—a delicate and intricate form of macramé bobbin lace. Tombolo lace, an Italian embroidery tradition, requires exceptional skill and patience, as artisans meticulously weave threads over a pillow using pins and bobbins to create ornate patterns, a craft passed down through generations. 

Sold in pairs and made to order, requiring a lead time of two weeks, they are an investment in both style and heritage. Available in a palette of four earth-inspired shades.
