Behind the Design

This design celebrates the whale shark, the largest fish on the planet and one of the most impressive visitors to the waters of the Galápagos Islands. The main illustration highlights its enormous silhouette, graceful movement, and distinctive pattern of spots and lines, which makes every individual unique.

Surrounding it, smaller naturalist studies reveal some of its most fascinating features: skin markings that function like an individual fingerprint, its enormous mouth adapted to filter tiny organisms from the water, and its relationship with other marine species that often accompany it during its journeys across the ocean.

The blue tones, deep textures, and sense of movement evoke the immensity of the open sea. More than portraying its extraordinary size, this design invites us to discover the gentle nature of this ocean giant and understand the importance of protecting the marine routes and ecosystems it depends on for survival. 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.
