Placemat Letter U – Ortigia

The letter U carries its own mythology — from Ulisse sailing the storied waters of Sicily to Umberto presiding over the Sunday feast, Ursula setting the table just so. This Ortigia placemat by Baci Milano translates the collection's bold Baroque alphabet into Italian cotton, anchoring every place setting with the saturated colour and ornamental letterwork that define Sicily's most iconic design language.

Named after the ancient island-city at the heart of Syracuse, Ortigia is where Greek ruins meet Baroque palazzos and vivid street markets erupt in colour. On a placemat, the letter U becomes architectural — a centrepiece framed in Mediterranean oranges, sea blues, and sun-bleached yellows drawn from the Majolica ceramics and pop-art energy that Baci Milano channels into every piece.

In Dubai, where setting a beautiful table is an art form, the Ortigia placemat brings Sicilian character to family dinners, terrace gatherings, and villa entertaining — Mediterranean glamour at every meal.

Gift the U to someone who deserves a table that tells a story — or collect the full Ortigia alphabet to spell names and moments across the setting.
