Ida-Lilja Medium Placemat – Materials & Details
Materials
Each Ida-Lilja medium placemat is individually handmade in Britain using sustainably sourced eucalyptus board, carefully selected for its strength, durability and beautifully smooth finish.
The 0.5cm thick eucalyptus board is finished with a superior melamine lacquered resin surface, creating a practical and elegant finish that is:
- Heat resistant up to 140°C (320°F)
- Scratch resistant
- Stain resistant
- Easy to wipe clean
A non-slip cork backing helps protect your dining table while keeping the placemat securely in place.
The Ida-Lilja artwork is created from Nina’s original hand illustration using her signature two-dimensional layering technique. Although the design has a beautiful sense of depth, the finished surface is completely smooth and suitable for everyday dining.

Design Inspiration
Ida-Lilja is named after Nina’s mother. Although her full name was Ida-Lilja, throughout her life she was affectionately known as “Lill”.
She had a wonderful eye for creating elegant table settings and believed that sharing food around a beautifully prepared table was one of life’s greatest pleasures.
Her warmth, generosity and appreciation for beautiful design continue to inspire Nina’s work today. Ida-Lilja is a celebration of family, hospitality and the enduring traditions that are woven throughout the Nina D collection.
