This table runner comes in two very different styles: one is cheerful and colorful in rich hues of pink, red, teal, and dark green; the other is understated in shades of natural, gray, and light blue. As different as the color schemes are, the fabrics are identical in material, weave, and finish. They are woven from certified organic cotton in a sturdy canvas weave. This makes the table runner suitable as a pop of color as well as a placemat when laid across the table. Thanks to its dimensions of 50 × 160 centimeters, it’s perfectly suited for this purpose. Another practical feature: The durable fabric can be washed at 60 degrees and withstands many washes—so things can get a little more lively at the table… And if you’d like to complete your dining room with a matching tablecloth or (chair) cushion covers, you’ll find those in our selection as well.

Before first use

The table runner is finished immediately after weaving and receives no finishing treatment; as a result, the fabric may shrink up to 7% lengthwise during the first wash, which has already been accounted for in the cutting. To preserve the fabric and colors, the manufacturer recommends soaking the table runner in cold water for 24 hours before first use, or washing it in the machine on the wool cycle in cold water without detergent, followed by a wash at 30°C with a small amount of detergent.

The Basque weaving mill Tissage de Luz not only excels at the craft of weaving but also at playing with colors and patterns. Stripes, in particular, seem to have captured the designers’ (and our) imagination. While stripe patterns are among the simplest in terms of weaving technique, in Tissage de Luz’s home textiles they convey a sense of exceptional craftsmanship. The stylish striped patterns, with their fresh colors and skillful combinations, really lift your spirits and add colorful accents and a modern, original touch to interiors, patios, and balconies.

The origins of Tissage de Luz date back to 1908, when Jean-Baptiste Gouze, the son of a hand weaver, founded one of the first mechanical weaving mills in the Basque Country. He produced sturdy textiles such as the traditional “mantes à bœufs,” as well as fine table linens, which even back then were distinguished by their extraordinary, sophisticated patterns and details. Today, the fifth generation is at the helm of the company. The fabrics’ original designs and their exceptional quality reflect a passion for aesthetics and a deep understanding of the traditional art of weaving passed down through generations. Production continues to take place in France, covering the entire production chain: from design through dyeing, warping, and weaving to finishing. Natural materials such as linen and certified organic cotton are used.

Please note: Stripes and colors vary depending on which part of the fabric is used for the product. The designs of the individual products therefore vary, they are never identical.
