R+D.Lab knows that beautiful takes time, which is why the Milan-based slow manufacturers utilize traditional techniques to make their glassware, table linens and other uncommon home goods. These placemats, which are 100% linen and come in a set of two, are handmade on one of the world’s oldest types of looms and carefully cut “on the grain” to ensure that each is perfectly square and won’t warp after wash or use. Let the care and attention to detail put into these linens serve as a reminder to slow yourself down, too. Actually follow the recipe in your cookbook. Ritualize Tuesday night dinner. Chew, really chew, your food. Every time you set your table is an opportunity to set an intention. Buon appetite!
