Set Of 2 Amerigo Beige Placemat

The Amerigo placemats are made with the remaining 260mt of fabric used in the sailcloth of 2012 Amerigo Vespucci sail boat. The sailcloths were manufactured in 2012 at a historical weaving mill in the North of Italy. The blue line that runs across the fabric serves as a guide for the stitching. When the fabric is wet, it is stiff, but once it dries it returns to its soft original texture. Each piece is handcrafted by women from a sail factory on the Isola delle Femmine (Women's Island).
