Know before you buy
Each purchase includes a set of two Tierra Placemats.
These placemats are crafted using a combination of forged steel for the structure and natural raffia fiber for the woven detailing.
Every placemat is meticulously handcrafted by master artisans in the Mercedes Salazar workshop located in Bogotá, Colombia.
Because they are made with natural raffia, it is best to spot clean them gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the integrity of the fiber and the steel frame.
While the steel frame provides a sturdy base, the hand-woven raffia is a delicate natural material. They are best suited for dining settings where you want to add a decorative, artisanal touch rather than for heavy-duty, high-mess environments.
