The coaster on a workbench among the tools that made it

Made for mugs, built for tables

Made to be held.

One object, one size, no logo on the front. Pressed cork on a walnut core — designed to lift, insulate and grip in all the right ways. Scroll, and turn it over.

See the object

One object

Isn't just a coaster.

It lifts, it insulates, it grips — and it asks for nothing back. Designed to make the simplest moment on a table feel considered.

The anatomy

Three jobs, one disc.

Everything the object does, it does without moving parts.

  1. Lift

    A pressed-cork face raises the cup four millimetres off the wood — high enough to matter, low enough to disappear.

  2. Insulate

    Cork holds a surprising amount of nothing. The heat stays in the mug and out of the table it sits on.

  3. Grip

    The face is sanded, never sealed — cups stay put on it, and it stays put on the table. Physics, not adhesive.

The making

Pressed, turned, sanded.

The cork arrives as granulate and leaves as a disc — pressed in a mould we machined ourselves, bonded to a walnut core, and sanded by hand until the face reads like paper. Ninety days of prototypes taught us what to leave out.

What owners say

I bought one as a joke about buying a €18 coaster. I now own six and the joke is over.

It's the only thing on my desk nobody is allowed to borrow.

Walnut-1

Made by the same two hands.

Craft fills in the gaps machines leave behind — every face sanded, checked and numbered by the same two hands. Pick one up, and it makes sense.
