Their added thickness offers greater peace of mind for dishes.

Commanding centrepiece: Use a single large placemat as a prominent base for your table's centrepiece, decorative bowls, or vases, creating a focal point with handcrafted integrity.
-
Enhanced surface protection: Ideal for protecting precious surfaces on side tables, buffets, or dressers from heavier items, or simply adding a decorative layer beneath lamps or plants.

-
Thoughtful gifting: An ideal present for hosts, home decorators, or anyone who appreciates unique, ethically made home goods that blend beauty with enhanced durability.
Empowering Women, Sustaining Communities
More than just a beautiful accessory for your table or home, your purchase of a Terra Placemat directly contributes to ASIGE's vital work. We are dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty by providing fair paid work and sustainable livelihood opportunities for rural women in Ghana. Every intricate weave helps empower these women, enabling them to gain financial independence, support their families, and build brighter futures.
Artisan Craftsmanship & Distinctive Design
Each Terra Placemat is a unique piece of art, showcasing the precise, tight weaving patterns and the vibrant colours (or natural tones, like the one pictured) that reflect the creativity of our artisans. Made from sustainably sourced elephant grass, these placemats are not only beautiful but also eco-friendly. Their thicker build provides exceptional sturdiness, making them a more robust and durable option compared to our Classic Placemat.
