Placemats - Cloud
Created by Gerd Hay-Edie and used by designer Robin Day for Hille in 1951, the Mourne Check was to become a signature fabric widely used for much of his furniture during his ten-year period designing for the brand.
Today, the Mourne Check is woven from a durable linen and wool mix and is available in our original mid-century colour palette of Tollymore, Gorse, Robin and Bilberry. The timeless design is perfect for adding a touch of the Mourne’s to your interior.
The Mourne Check Cloud placemats offer a striking monochromatic palette, blending pure white wool yarn with the contrasting textures of black and white linen. This sophisticated colourway echoes the soft, misty skies that often envelop the Mourne Mountains, creating a delicate balance of light and shadow.
Woven on vintage power looms, this fabric features a smooth, tactile surface with subtle yet dynamic contrasts, thanks to the interplay between the wool and linen fibres. The bright white wool yarn adds a crisp clarity, while the black and white linen yarns offer a refined, textured depth that enhances the checkered pattern.
The fringes of these placemats showcase a captivating blend of brilliant white and black-and-white yarns, offering an additional layer of contrast that enriches the overall design. Whether as a statement piece or a complement to a more understated setting, the Mourne Check Cloud placemats are a perfect embodiment of timeless elegance and modern simplicity.
Ideal for adding a refined touch to any dining setting, these placemats not only capture the essence of the Mourne landscape but also provide a durable, hard-wearing option for everyday use.
