Our Golden Lily Organic Cotton Placemat is made in Sweden by Ekelund Weavers. These collections of textiles are some of the finest woven table and kitchen linens we've found and reflect the taste and style of the Scandinavian good life.

Each and every woven article—from the oldest classic patterns to the newest and most colorful—is made in accordance with our family traditions, to be enjoyed in accordance with yours.
William Morris's iconic designs meet Ekelund's beautiful craftsmanship.
William Morris was an influential designer and poet from Victorian England. His designs are known for their nature-inspired motifs, intricate detail, and flowing style. Morris drew inspiration from the English countryside, and each pattern is characterized by recurring themes from nature.
By weaving Morris’s patterns, we at Ekelund embrace a part of the English tradition and unite it with our Swedish heritage. We create a bridge between the past and the future, and between the English and Swedish landscapes.
Just like Morris, we share the vision of creating designs that not only reflect our time but also endure through the centuries, ensuring that each product is as relevant today as it was when it was first created.
William Morris (1834-1896) was an artist, philosopher and political theorist. He was also one of the most influential designers in the Arts & Crafts movement. William Morris made some of the most exciting textiles of his time. We are very proud to be able to continue working with these in close collaboration with The William Morris Society©
