Place Your Mats

Scarlett Willow Place Mats

Imagine David Cameron, something that resembles talcum powder and Kate Moss in a nice, big bed.

Some things are riveting (even if they’re technically untrue). Most observers would agree that place mats, on the other hand, are not.

Well, think again. Because the humble table dressing has had a revamp at the hands of designer Scarlett Willow, and its future has never looked so promising.

The melamine-finished mats have been printed with images of poppies, melons, dragonflies and flowers. They’re true beauties. And they’re extremely low-maintenance (especially when compared to supermodels). Simply lay them out for a meal and wipe them clean at the end of it. (Talk about thrilling).

Scarlett Willow’s bespoke service will enthrall anyone who wants to get personal. Provide them with any scannable image, and they’ll print it onto a set of mats. You could eat off your dog, your children, your family crest — even your favourite body part.

Sensational.

As long as that’s all that you’re doing off it.
