Zeller Curve Faux Leather Placemat PVC 42 x 34 cm, Black - Pebble Shape, Wipe Clean, for Home and Motorhome

Zeller Curve is a black placemat made of faux leather, 100% PVC. It has a rounded, irregular outline that resembles a flat pebble, so it breaks up the straight lines of the table and looks good both with a single place setting and with a whole row of mats. It measures about 42 x 34 cm, which leaves enough room for a dinner plate, cutlery and a glass. The mat is about 0.2 cm thick and weighs 100 g. The surface has a fine, slightly textured finish that resembles leather. If something spills or drops off the plate, simply wipe the mat with a damp cloth. The manufacturer describes the material as hard-wearing and easy to care for, made for everyday use. The deep black sets off light-coloured tableware well, and the same mat is also available in dark grey, along with matching glass coasters in the same shape.

What a placemat is for

A placemat sits between the place setting and the table top. Crumbs, drops of sauce and rings from wet glasses land on the mat instead of the table. This protects the surface from stains, scratches from plates and cutlery, and glass marks. After the meal you lift the mat off the table, wipe it and put it away. Placemats also bring order to the table: every place setting has its own clearly marked spot, which helps at breakfast, lunch and dinner with guests.

The Curve shape

Instead of a rectangle, the mat has a soft, asymmetric outline that is wider on one side and narrower on the other. This shape works on both rectangular and round tables. You can lay the mats all in the same direction or alternate them for a less formal look. At about 42 x 34 cm a dinner plate fits in the middle with room left for cutlery and a glass.

Material and surface

The mat is made of faux leather, 100% PVC. The top side has a matt, finely textured surface that looks like leather close up. The material is thin and flexible but keeps its shape on the table. Unlike fabric it does not soak up liquids, so a spilt drink or a greasy spot stays on the surface and can be wiped off. Black also hides small marks better than light colours.

How to care for the mat

• after the meal wipe away crumbs and spots with a damp cloth
• for heavier soiling you can dampen the cloth with water and a little washing-up liquid, then wipe the mat with clean water
• dry the mat with a soft cloth
• store the mats flat, for example in a drawer or stacked on top of each other
• do not put hot pans or pots directly on the mat, use a pot stand instead

Every day, at home and on the road

The mat weighs 100 g and is about 0.2 cm thick, so several of them take up very little space. They fit flat in a kitchen drawer as well as in a motorhome or caravan locker, where every centimetre and every gram counts. On a camping table the mat marks each person's place and makes cleaning up easier: instead of washing the whole table top, you wipe the mats. It also works well on a balcony, a terrace or a garden table.

How to build a set

The mat is sold individually, so you order as many as the number of people who usually sit at your table. You can combine the black mat with the dark grey one in the same shape, for example alternating at each place setting. Curve glass coasters in the same colour and material complete the set.
