A coaster stops the ring, steadies the cup, and marks a small territory of care on the surface beneath. These twelve sets are woven from jute and seagrass or assembled from ceramic tile — materials that absorb condensation, tolerate heat, and sit flat without shifting. Each set protects the table and frames the vessel with texture, colour, or pattern drawn from Mediterranean tilework and coastal craft traditions.
What they're made from
Jute is a bast fibre spun from the outer stem of Corchorus plants, grown across South Asia. It takes dye well, holds its shape when woven tight, and softens with handling. Seagrass grows in shallow coastal waters and tidal marshes; once dried and twisted into cord, it becomes dense enough to bear weight and wick moisture. The ceramic coasters reproduce geometric motifs found in traditional Mediterranean azulejos — tin-glazed tiles laid in courtyards, kitchens, and fountains across Spain, Portugal, and North Africa.
Common questions
How many coasters in a set?
Most sets contain four coasters. One jute–cotton set contains six in mixed colours.
What size are they?
The jute and seagrass coasters measure approximately 10 cm across — wide enough for a mug, glass, or small bowl.
