Botanic is a fresh perspective on floral motifs, featuring a deconstructed bouquet brought to life on the loom. The thoughtful application of color adds dimension to this versatile and lively weave.

Having previously explored florals through printed and molded textiles, our design team set out to push the boundaries of weaving—and creativity. Botanic was developed through a playful and iterative process that began with a trip to New York's Flower District. Back at the studio, a variety of stems were arranged on paper. These compositions were then covered in a coat of spray paint. When the flowers were lifted away from the painted paper, their silhouettes remained.

The works on paper were photographed and then the compositions were collaged digitally. Finally, the image was translated into a woven jacquard, its playful blooms enlivened through unexpected color.

Cleaning

• Cleaning is easy. Simply wipe the mat with soap and water, and allow to air dry.
• Mats with visible food residue can be sprayed with soapy water, scrubbed with a soft-bristle brush, or soaked in soapy water and then rinsed.
• Do not clean with alcohol-based cleaning agents, as they can break down TerraStrand yarns over time.
• Citrus-based cleaning agents are also not recommended, as they can cause discoloration.
• Do not wash in dishwasher or washing machine. Do not iron or dry with heat. A high-temperature sanitizer may be used up to once per week.

Storage

• Store Chilewich placemats flat.
• Table runners may be rolled.
• Do not store wet or allow mats to fold or crease.
• In case of creasing, steam using a handheld garment steamer on the lowest heat setting.
