Embroidered Napkin Set

A limited-edition set of 4 100% Irish linen napkins by our friend, award-winning textile artist Jennifer Slattery. Measuring a substantial 45cm x 45cm, each linen napkin features Jennifer's beautiful embroidery. Each napkin features a different illustration. 

The design is inspired by time spent at the Herbarium in the Botanical Gardens in Dublin drawing and photographing dried plants, which have been collected for centuries and are now catalogued. Over a million species are carefully stored here, some as whole, roots intact. There is a sense of the collectors who attentively gathered these plants, their hand written description of where and when the species was found, many dating back around two hundred years. 

Available in Ivory or Natural linen, this set of 4 napkins is part of a limited edition of 100 pieces. Each set is boxed beautifully and numbered by Jennifer. Each substantial napkin, finished to Jennifer's exacting standards measures 45cm x 45cm. A matching table runner is available here.

Care: To care for your table linen, wash at 30 degrees, and steam iron while damp for a crisp finish.

Originally a graphic designer, Jennifer Slattery pursued an alternative creative medium and left her career to study textiles in NCAD in 2007. After the success of her graduate show in 2011, the studio was born.

Jennifer is heavily inspired by the sense of nostalgia and celebration, which can be seen in the distinctive patterns and wildflowers that adorn her work.

Jennifer's open studio is based locally on Benburb Street in Dublin's City Centre.

Jennifer and her studio are passionate about natural textiles and responsible sourcing. They work hand in hand with their suppliers and manufacturers. From flax to final product, they know and can vouch for every part of the production process. All packaging is fully recyclable.
