The fiber is ancient. The hands that made it are skilled. ✨\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKorissa Agora Round Jute Placemat\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of those quietly beautiful things that transforms a table without announcing itself. Fourteen inches of 100% natural jute, woven by hand into a round placemat of warm, textured beauty — the color of sun-dried straw, the texture of something genuinely made from the earth. Set four of them on a dining table and the whole room shifts: warmer, more natural, more intentional. They work on a farmhouse table, a modern table, a patio table, a kitchen island. The natural and white palette goes with every dish, every season, every style. They are the kind of thing you put down once and never want to take up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 14\" round they are a proper placemat size — generous enough to anchor a full place setting, beautiful enough to leave out even when the table is not set. Stack them when not in use and they are beautiful stacked. Hang one on a wall and it is art. This is what happens when a material this good is worked by hands this skilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eJute — The Golden Fiber of Bangladesh\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJute is one of the oldest cultivated plant fibers in the world — called the “golden fiber” for the warm, lustrous color of its strands and for the extraordinary role it has played in the life and economy of the Bengal region for thousands of years. It grows tall and fast in the rich, alluvial soil of Bangladesh, harvested by hand, retted in water to separate the fibers, then dried and spun into the strong, flexible, naturally biodegradable material that weavers have worked with for generations. Jute is completely natural — no synthetic fibers, no chemical treatments, nothing that does not come from the earth. It is warm to the touch, naturally textured, and develops a beautiful character with age and use. The Agora placemat is made from 100% natural jute — nothing added, nothing artificial, just the fiber as it comes from the plant, woven by hand into something beautiful for your table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHandmade by the Artisans of Bangladesh\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe weavers who make the Agora placemat are part of a long tradition of jute craft in Bangladesh — a tradition passed from generation to generation, refined over centuries into a skill of extraordinary precision and beauty. Each placemat is woven entirely by hand, the fibers interlaced with the patience and care that only handcraft can produce. Because each piece is made individually, slight variations in texture, color, and size are natural — not flaws, but the honest signature of something genuinely made by human hands. No two are exactly alike. The set of four you receive will be similar, beautiful, and each one subtly its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet of 4 round placemats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: Approximately 14\" round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 100% natural jute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Natural, white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlight variations in design, color \u0026amp; size are natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade by artisan weavers in Bangladesh for Korissa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe clean with a damp cloth — do not rub stains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry thoroughly after any moisture exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep out of direct sunlight to preserve color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.\" — Proverbs 31:13\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DC-KORISSA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42761889120333,"sku":"DC-374896","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/4042\/2477\/files\/sty_00_agora_placemat.jpg?v=1772988866","url":"https:\/\/christiandecorandmore.com\/products\/agora-placemat-set-of-4","provider":"Christian Decor and more","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
