Woven Tenganan Placemat

These intricately woven Tenganan Placemats are the perfect tabletop accessory for adding a traveled sophistication to your place settings. The rectangular shape is contemporary and the weave gives organic texture and warmth to your tablescape.

Each placemat is handwoven in the village of Tenganan, Bali using natural Ata reed. The fast-growing Ata reed has to be separated into small, thin strands. Then skilled artisans intricately weave the strands into baskets and woven homewares, working on one basket for up to a month. Once fully woven, the weavings are boiled and left in the sun to dry for a week. Finally, to strengthen the weave, condition the fibers, and leave a natural finish, they are smoked over coconut shell clippings. A true dedication to craft to make these woven objects.
