Punica 1 features a whole pomegranate alongside an open fruit filled with vivid red seeds, framed by green leaves.

Punica 2 places a large pomegranate behind an open fruit in the foreground, creating a more expansive, painterly composition.

Punica 3 brings together two whole pomegranates surrounded by delicate branches and leaves for a compact botanical arrangement.

Because the three motifs share the same palette, they can be mixed naturally without making every place setting identical.

Punica is not a pattern selected from an outside collection. It is an exclusive La Bottega di Casa design, created to bring a distinctive botanical character to the table.

The three compositions were conceived to be different while still belonging naturally together. This makes it possible to alternate the motifs around the table without creating the predictable look of a perfectly matched set.

Deep pomegranate reds, shifting greens and the transparency of watercolor give the design a painterly quality that feels special without being reserved only for formal occasions.

Punica reflects the way La Bottega di Casa approaches table linens: fine materials, distinctive color, original pattern and freedom to mix.

Pair the placemats with solid-color linen napkins in red or green, or soften the table with ivory, natural linen or pearl tones.

For a less expected combination, wine, dusty rose or deeper botanical greens can pick up the watercolor shading within the design.

The placemats can be placed directly on wood or stone to leave the tabletop visible, or layered over a plain cloth. You can explore more botanical designs in our printed placemats collection.

Pomegranates move naturally from fall into the holiday season. Their deep red and green palette makes Punica particularly at home within an Autumn table, while the fruit also works beautifully through winter and Christmas without looking like a strictly holiday-specific motif.

Changing only the napkins, glassware or flowers around the placemat can give the same design a very different mood.

Punica is designed for anyone who loves botanical linen but prefers to build a personal table rather than buy a fixed matching set. Selling each design individually makes it easy to create an uneven number of place settings, repeat one favorite motif or add more placemats later.

La Bottega di Casa creates and selects home textiles distinguished by quality materials, thoughtful finishing and a personal Italian point of view.

Alongside collections from selected Italian textile makers, we develop exclusive designs and products of our own, including Punica. Our collections are intended for homes where elegance does not mean uniformity: color, botanical patterns and unexpected combinations are part of the way we like to dress the table.

Are Punica placemats still sold as a set of three?
No. The new Punica placemat is sold individually. Choose any of the three designs and order the quantity you need.

Are all three designs the same size?
Yes. Each Punica placemat measures 40 × 50 cm, approximately 16″ × 19″.

Can I order several placemats in the same design?
Yes. Punica 1, Punica 2 and Punica 3 are separate options, so you can repeat one design or mix all three.

What napkin colors work with Punica?
Red, green and natural linen are easy choices. Wine, dusty rose, ivory and deeper green tones can create a more individual combination.

Is Punica only a fall placemat?
No. Pomegranates work beautifully from fall through winter, but the botanical motif is not tied to one specific holiday and can be used throughout the year.

What is the placemat made from?
Punica is made from 100% linen and produced in Italy.

Is Punica exclusive to La Bottega di Casa?
Yes. Punica is an exclusive La Bottega di Casa product, created in three different botanical pomegranate compositions that can be used individually or mixed together on the same table.
