Seagrass is a flowering plant that grows underwater in shallow coastal waters. Seagrass is fast-growing, durable, and naturally biodegradable, making it a sustainable option for products.
At Città, seagrass is used in our Pinto range of placemats, baskets, and coasters.
Seagrass products prefer dry, well-ventilated conditions. To revitalise seagrass items, dust lightly and leave outside in the shade for a few hours.
Spot clean with a damp cloth and leave to air-dry. For liquid spills, blot dry with a clean, dry cloth to absorb excess moisture and leave to air-dry.
A Colour-Led Design Journey
On a visit to India in 2018, our design team chanced upon the manufacturer. They were drawn to the material and technique but wanted to add our personality with colour.
“Often seagrass is made into undyed or neutral-toned items,” says Città designer Imogen Tunnicliffe. “We liked the idea of a natural material being turned on its head and made into highly colourful items.”
