Straw Star Abaca Placemats by Joanna Buchanan - Set of 4
Available to Ship: 3-7 Business Days
The Straw Star Abaca Placemats by Joanna Buchanan use a blue-and-natural star motif to give handwoven fibre a graphic center without losing its relaxed character. Made from 100% abaca, each 15-inch round has the texture and slight irregularity expected from natural handwork, while the star shape introduces just enough pattern to distinguish the set beneath simple plates. Sold as a set of four, the placemats suggest the coast without requiring a seaside room around them; white porcelain, blue-and-white china, clear glass, and natural wood all sit easily above the woven surface. The motif reads equally well as star or starfish, which keeps it pleasantly ambiguous.
“Stars and starfish can share a silhouette; that ambiguity is half the charm. I would use these well beyond a beach table because the natural fibre keeps the motif grounded. A plain plate on top is enough: the woven star can be the quiet surprise underneath.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Maker / Heritage
Joanna Buchanan brings a fashion-trained eye to tabletop, seasonal decoration, and home accessories. After two decades in fashion retail, her approach has been shaped by a Hong Kong childhood, years in Europe, travel through India, and a family tradition of holiday decorating rooted in vintage ornaments from the English countryside. Color, graphic pattern, natural motifs, and a collected sense of occasion run through the collection.
