Marimekko Unikko Placemat

The acrylic coating adds a protective layer that makes the surface feel slightly smoother and more structured than standard cotton, yet it remains flexible and soft to the touch. It does not feel like stiff plastic, so it still drapes naturally on your table.

Yes, while the acrylic coating allows you to simply wipe away most spills with a damp cloth, the placemats are machine washable when they need a deeper clean. We recommend following the care instructions to maintain the integrity of the coating over time.

Thanks to the cotton base and the specific treatment of the fabric, these placemats are designed to be wrinkle-resistant and generally lie flat on the table. They are durable enough to withstand daily use without curling.

While they are designed primarily for indoor use, the acrylic coating makes them more resilient than standard fabric placemats if used on a patio or balcony. Just be mindful that they are not waterproof and should not be left outside in the elements.

Each placemat measures 12 inches high by 17 inches wide, providing a standard, generous surface area for a full place setting, including your plate, silverware, and glassware.
