daff: Table decorations rethought again and again
Bringing colour to the table, in a clear design, made of practical material - "Colourful is our favourite colour" was the basic idea of the daff company right from the start. From 2001, the first felt sets were produced from the finest merino wool "Made in Germany", which are still unique today in terms of quality, colour and design. New product groups were quickly added.
Today, daff focusses on sustainable and/or vegan materials such as PET felt, recycled leather and LAV (Leather Alternative Vegan) in the production of placemats and coasters. Being open-minded and creative and at the same time uncompromising in terms of quality, design, functionality and sustainability - that is daff's philosophy.
The daff brand was launched in 2001 by founder Carin Benter. Today, daff is a brand of Zwiesel Kristallglas AG, based in Zwiesel, Germany. The company took over the sole distribution and marketing rights to the brand in 2024.
Colourful is my favourite colour!

Stylish, sustainable and hygienic
At home, the demands on the design and quality of table decorations are particularly high. daff uses sustainable, innovative materials such as PET felt and recycled leather, which are stylish, practical and durable. Cleaning is also given the necessary focus. Products made from recycled leather can be easily cleaned with soap and water or disinfectant. PET felt can be washed at 30 °C or cleaned with a steamer. The fact that quality, design, functionality and sustainability belong together at daff is proven every day not only by private hosts, but also in cafés, restaurants and hotels. The design of the placemats and coasters is based on the unique, clear daff signature and the desire to constantly create something new and beautiful for your table. Whether round, oval, organic, square or rectangular - with the various daff shapes, you can create your very own professional table decoration.
