Shadoks 3 Mottos placemat 30 × 45 cm

Lunch is on the table, the plates are ready and three rather unusual characters seem to have joined the conversation. With the Shadoks “3 Mottos” placemat, an ordinary meal gets a little retro humour. The quirky illustrations are a cheerful way to welcome guests, start a conversation and bring a playful detail to everyday dining without changing your whole table setting.

Three Shadoks and their wonderfully odd mottos

Against a light background, three colourful Shadoks appear alongside their distinctive sayings. The design captures the offbeat humour of the well-known French animated world, with bold graphic details that deserve a little space. Rather than pairing the placemat with a very busy patterned tablecloth, try a plain surface or a simple linen-look cloth. White plates, understated glasses and just a few accessories allow the colourful characters to stand out. The result is a table with personality, not a display that competes with the meal.

30 × 45 cm: a place for each guest

Measuring 30 × 45 cm, the placemat defines one place setting and gives you a dedicated area for the plate and surrounding cutlery. Before ordering several, consider your table’s shape and the space between seats. On a narrow or round table, checking the available width helps keep everyone comfortable. Each placemat is sold individually, so you can start with one, choose matching pieces for the family or mix it with plain placemats for a deliberately playful arrangement. There is no requirement to buy a full set.

Polypropylene and practical care after mealtimes

This placemat is made from 100% polypropylene, partly using recycled material. Its surface is practical when you want to wipe away the little traces left by a meal. The stated care instruction is hand washing; do not use bleach, a tumble dryer, an iron or dry cleaning. For a quick clean-up, gently wipe with a soft damp sponge, wash by hand as needed and let it dry fully before putting it away flat. A useful kitchen habit is to keep a separate heat-resistant trivet for very hot pans or serving dishes rather than using a decorative placemat for that purpose.

Made in France, with a sense of humour

The Shadoks “3 Mottos” design is made in France. It makes a charming small gift for someone who enjoys vintage illustrations, unusual kitchen accessories or the Shadoks themselves. You can keep the rest of the table restrained and let the artwork provide the surprise. For a cheerful theme that extends beyond the dining place, browse the Les Shadoks collection for other household accessories, sold separately, that bring this distinctive sense of humour into the kitchen.
