AKO IDEAL – Hidden champion on the table
The AKO IDEAL tablecloth underlay is celebrating its 55th anniversary in 2022 and has nothing to hide. Practical and unobtrusive, it has been ensuring that everything on the table stays in place and the table surface is protected since 1967.
Now it's time to put it on the table
We live in times when a beautifully laid table is appreciated more than ever because social evenings out and at home have become rarer. When the classic white tablecloth becomes a trend again thanks to influencers, the equally classic white AKO IDEAL tablecloth underlay mat is a must.


Table protection at work and at home
Whether in upscale catering, the hotel industry or in the event and trade fair sector - anyone who sets tables professionally covers them with AKO IDEAL. Hard-wearing and easy to clean, the table protector has been making life easier for hosts for 55 years. The tables are protected because AKO IDEAL is waterproof and protects the surface from knocks and scratches as well as water stains on the edges of the wine. And these are not welcome on a good wooden table, even in private households.
Stylish cosiness around the table
For flexible use, AKO IDEAL is available in three sizes as a ready-to-sell table mat or as customised and easy-to-cut rolls from hotel and restaurant outfitters and specialist retailers. It can be easily wiped clean if lightly soiled, but can also be washed and put back on like new.




A flexible and sustainable classic
“Our table mat is a real classic that is experiencing a renaissance to mark our anniversary. Thanks to its durability and certification according to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, AKO IDEAL meets the omnipresent desire for sustainability, so we are well positioned for the future,” emphasises Johanna Kolckmann.
