Original Paper Placemats, Designed by an Artist
Tree Art Store paper placemats are created in-house by Sylvia, an artist and educator with more than 30 years of experience, and produced as coordinated sets of 12 with matching coasters. Each design is printed on FSC-certified paper with soybean-based ink and finished with a water-resistant varnish, a deliberate alternative to the laminate and vinyl mats that fill most tables. The result is artwork you set a table with, refined enough for a celebration and easy enough for an ordinary evening.

Three Shapes for Every Table
The collection offers 31 original designs across round, hexagonal, and rectangular shapes, so the placemat suits the table rather than the other way around. Round settings soften a room and complement circular plates, hexagonal mats add a modern geometric edge, and rectangular mats bring a clean classic line to longer tables. Every set keeps placemats and coasters in the same design, so a full table reads as one considered look from end to end.
Practical Where Fabric Falls Short
Unlike cloth placemats, there is no laundering, ironing, or stain anxiety. The heavyweight paper and protective varnish stand up to spills and condensation through a meal, then store flat in a drawer until the next gathering. For everyday dinners, holiday tables, and seasonal tablescapes, they deliver the look of a styled setting without the upkeep, which is exactly why hosts return to them season after season.
A Considered Gift for Hosts and Couples
Because paper is the traditional first-anniversary gift, these sets have become a thoughtful paper anniversary present, and they suit wedding and bridal-shower tables, housewarmings, and hostess gifting just as naturally. Designed by a mother and crafted by a son, every purchase supports original artwork from a small family studio rather than mass-produced tableware. Enjoy free US shipping on all orders.
