Mourne Check Placemats - Forest Green

Created by Gerd Hay-Edie and used by designer Robin Day for Hille in 1951, the Mourne Check has become a symbol of mid-century modern design. This iconic fabric, woven from a blend of durable linen and wool, was widely featured in Robin Day's furniture collections, known for its timeless appeal and enduring craftsmanship.

Today, the Mourne Check placemats continue this legacy, offering a stylish yet functional addition to your dining table. Available in the original mid-century colours of Tollymore, Gorse, Robin, and Bilberry, the design remains as relevant and striking as ever. The blend of linen and wool ensures a tactile, durable finish that’s perfect for everyday use.

Our new range introduces earthy tones inspired by the natural landscapes of the Mourne Mountains, adding a fresh yet grounded element to this classic design. These placemats combine heritage with contemporary style, bringing a sophisticated touch of nature into your home.

The Mourne Check Forest Green placemats capture the essence of the dense, earthy landscapes of the Mourne Mountains. The deep olive green wool yarn evokes the rich, moss-covered woodlands and the dark hues of forest canopies, while the stark contrast of black linen introduces the boldness of shadowed, sun-dappled undergrowth. This harmonious pairing brings to mind the quiet strength and natural beauty found in the heart of nature’s most verdant places.

The dark olive green speaks to the rugged textures of the landscape, with its earthy undertones resembling the foliage of ancient trees and the deep moss on forest floors. Paired with the contrasting black linen, which mirrors the shadows cast by the towering trees, this colourway brings a grounded, organic feel to your home, full of warmth and natural depth. It's a design that feels timeless, steeped in the quiet elegance of the outdoors.

Whether placed on a dining table or as a striking addition to your home décor, the Mourne Check Forest Green placemats are a sophisticated homage to the natural world, bringing the lush beauty of the Mourne Mountains into your home.
