Our friends L&C wished to give C and me something extra special as an engagement gift. The brief was for something that we would look at and go "How cool! L&C have great taste and gave us that as a gift". (Or something like that.)
As the date of our party approached I managed to have less and less interesting ideas - apart from the fact that I love the Mud Australia products! - and in the end my suggestion of a voucher to a funky homewares store was taken up.
We received a voucher from Monde in Claremont, that being very much a funky homewares store and somewhere to buy Mud Australia. They have lots of cool and interesting pieces, including Alessi, Mud Australia and Chilewich to name a few.
I have long been an admirer of the Chilewich tableware, however the cost of them has meant that any purchase is deferred until I could justify the expense. Suddenly, I had a very good excuse to spend some money and buy some placemats!
Initially we purchased rectangular placemats in the Bamboo style, Pepper coloured. Once we got them home however and arranged them on our square table we realised that they were too large - the edges overlapped! I also thought a darker colour would look more effective against the jarrah. C went back to the store and they were happy to exchange them for Smoke coloured square placemats.
So now we have some trendy placemats and we can think of L&C whenever we dress our table up with them.
Thank you!
