Bring Scandinavian inspired elegance to your everyday dining with the Ekotemplet medium placemat by Nina D. Featuring a soft sage green herringbone design with a superior lacquered finish, this cork-backed placemat combines original artwork, craftsmanship and practical beauty for your home.
Each placemat features Nina’s hand illustrated artwork, created using a two-dimensional layering technique to create depth and texture. Although the design has a beautiful layered appearance, the finished surface is completely smooth, durable and easy to care for.
Inspired by Nina’s Swedish upbringing, every Nina D design is named after a person or place close to her heart. Ekotemplet is named after the Haga Echo Temple in Hagaparken, Stockholm — a special place connected to Nina’s childhood memories of exploring the Swedish landscape.
The medium size placemat is perfect for breakfast bars, kitchen islands, smaller dining tables or as part of a beautifully styled table setting. Pair with Nina D linen napkins, table runners and matching Ekotemplet pieces to create a considered Scandinavian-inspired tablescape.
The Ekotemplet collection is also available as:
- Large round placemats
- Large rectangular Euro size placemats
- Swedish birch wood serving tray
- Coasters
Each placemat is sold individually, allowing you to mix and match pieces to create your own personal table setting.
This latest Ekotemplet collection features a brighter colour palette with beautifully lacquered edges on the eucalyptus board, while maintaining the smooth, practical finish that makes Nina D placemats ideal for everyday living.

Each Nina D placemat is individually handmade in Britain and heat resistant up to 140°C (320°F), using durable, stain-resistant materials designed for everyday use.

Design Inspiration – Ekotemplet
Ekotemplet is inspired by the Haga Echo Temple in Hagaparken, Stockholm.
Nina grew up in Solna, just north of Stockholm city centre, and spent many childhood days exploring the beautiful royal park. The oval Echo Temple, built in 1790 as a summer dining room for King Gustav III, became a place of inspiration.
The unique architecture created wonderful acoustics, allowing conversation to flow around the table as the king and his guests gathered outdoors.
Inspired by Swedish nature, history and the tradition of gathering around a table, Ekotemplet celebrates thoughtful dining and meaningful moments.
