Behind the Design

This design celebrates the Galápagos giant tortoise, a symbol of longevity, resilience, and evolution across the islands. The main illustration highlights its imposing presence, powerful limbs, and long neck—features that allow it to move through different habitats and reach the vegetation it feeds on.

Surrounding it, smaller naturalist studies portray different moments in its life: the variety of shell shapes that developed in response to the conditions of each island, its ability to reduce activity and conserve energy during dry seasons, and the arrival of new generations after a long incubation period.

The earthy tones, weathered textures, and botanical elements evoke the arid landscapes and vegetated areas inhabited by this extraordinary species. More than portraying its grandeur, the design invites us to discover how these tortoises adapted to isolation and to understand the importance of protecting them. Because we believe that when we know nature, we learn to protect it.

Description

A set of two durable, easy-care placemats designed to protect your table and add color to every meal.

Made from recycled polyester eco canvas, they feature a soft surface and a protective finish that helps repel liquids, accidental spills, and dust. They are sold as a pair to create a coordinated and functional table setting.

 

Materials & Sustainability

Made from eco canvas crafted with 100% recycled polyester. Its invisible protective finish helps repel water-based liquids, accidental spills, and dust, while its abrasion resistance reduces pilling caused by regular use and washing. The base fabric is certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, and according to the manufacturer’s technical specifications, its recycled content is backed by RCS (Recycled Claim Standard) and GRS 4.0 (Global Recycled Standard).

Each placemat is handmade and printed using sublimation technology, allowing us to reproduce detailed artwork, vibrant colors, and rich blacks. The inks are certified to OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT.

Impact

These placemats transform recycled polyester into a durable, reusable product designed to accompany many meals.

They are handmade in women-led community workshops, where we seek to create fairly paid employment, strengthen local skills, and distribute the opportunities generated by our production more equitably.

Their durability and ease of washing help extend their useful life and make better use of the materials involved in their production.
