Placemat Letter R – Ortigia

The letter R anchors this Ortigia placemat with a name — Rania, Rosa, Raffaele, Riccardo — or simply the mark of a host whose every table choice is intentional. Designed at Casa Baci in Milan, it brings Italian graphic energy to the surface where every meal begins.

Ortigia takes its name from the ancient island heart of Syracuse, where Baroque stonework rises alongside Greek ruins and Sicilian street markets fill the air with colour and character. The collection translates that layered heritage into bold letterforms drawn from Baroque typography, pop-art colour, and the iconic motifs of Sicilian ceramic tradition. A placemat is where the table story starts — and Ortigia makes it worth noticing from the first glance.

In a Dubai villa or on a shaded outdoor terrace, this antistain cotton piece holds its character through generous meals and layered table settings alike — Italian beauty and real-world practicality working in step. Pair it with the matching Ortigia Letter R mug or mini tray for a complete and considered personal gift.
