According to legend, in the 15th and 16th centuries in England, there were no knives and forks. When men ate meat with their hands, their beards would be easily greasy. They would wipe their mouths with their lapels. Therefore, housewives would hang a cloth towel around the necks of men. A tailor in London, England, came up with a new idea to cut the cloth towel into small squares for easy use, which gradually formed the napkins (cloths) used at banquets today.
On the dining table, napkins are not only a sanitary product, but also serve to decorate the table, create an atmosphere, and highlight the position of the guest of honor. An exquisite banquet requires exquisite details, and napkins must be an indispensable part of it.
01.Napkin size
Hotel napkins vary in size, square is preferred, and the regular size is 51*51cm, 55*55cm.
02.Napkin color
According to the color, there are two types of napkins: white and colorful. White napkins give people a sense of cleanliness, tranquility and elegance. It can adjust people’s visual balance and calm people’s emotions.
Colorful napkins can create a dining atmosphere. For example, bright red gives people a solemn and warm feeling; gray gives people a simple and elegant feeling; lake blue can give people a cool and comfortable feeling in summer. The color matching of napkins in formal banquets needs to consider the colors of tablecloths and placemats.
03 Texture of napkin
According to the texture, napkins can generally be divided into cotton fabrics and chemical fiber fabrics.
Good cotton napkins are soft and comfortable to the touch without hurting the skin. They have strong water absorption, fine and smooth weave, no lint, strong detergency, and are crisp after starching and ironing, with good styling effect.
When choosing a cotton napkin, the cotton density should be high, the warp and weft should be neat, and the finished product should also pay attention to the stitching and stitch density.
Chemical fiber fabrics have bright colors, strong transparency and are elastic. If the shape is not successful in one go, they can be shaped a second time. However, they have poor water absorption and are not as good as cotton fabrics in terms of detergency.
4.Napkin pattern
The design of napkin pattern makes dining no longer just about the food itself, but a dual enjoyment of vision and taste. In special wedding banquets, birthday banquets, and children’s banquets, we can also use napkins with themed patterns to enhance the atmosphere of the banquet.
Nowadays, the use of napkins has become a way of life. It is not only used to protect gorgeous dresses from being stained by food during meals, but also becomes a beautiful scenery on the dining table. Whether in a restaurant or at home, according to the season and theme, napkins with different patterns are a reflection of good taste and can enhance the texture of the entire dinner.
