Zwiesel Fortessa Japan has launched two new placemat collections as part of the Fortessa tableware brand, available from February 18, 2026, at their official online shop. The expansion marks the brand's entry into a new product category beyond traditional glassware and tableware.
The new offerings include two distinct series: Fiberixx, made from recycled PET bottles, and LAV, crafted from vegan leather. Both collections emphasize sustainability and environmental consciousness while providing practical table coordination options.
Product Overview
The placemat collections feature two size options: a coaster size (100mm diameter) perfect for glassware, and a larger placemat size suitable for full table settings. This expansion enables complete table coordination beyond the brand's existing glass and tableware products.
1. Fiberixx Series
The Fiberixx collection uses recycled PET bottle materials, balancing environmental responsibility with functionality. The placemats feature excellent durability and a pleasant felt-like texture, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Available in multiple colors, these mats can serve as accent pieces for table settings. They can be wiped clean with water, and for stubborn stains, machine washing at temperatures below 30°C (86°F) is possible.
