These creative, disposable paper placemats from Publique Living would be a fabulous way to jazz up your table for a casual dinner party. In the corner of each 'Popmat' is a pop-up design that not only adds visual interest, but also incorporates a space to use as a name card.
There are three designs to choose from; a chair and a birdcage, a mailbox by a fence and tree with a sign. They come in packs of ten for $24 and are available in either white or natural.
