Air-Groove Coaster

Shallow open grooves are intended to help a damp glass lift cleanly.

Color storyCobalt blue

The same design in four finishes. Natural materials keep their character. Final color and finish will be matched on physical samples.

A MOMENT OF EVERYDAY

Made to be
part of your day.

A concept scene illustrating the intended use.

01Set the coaster on a clean dry surface.
02Place the glass centrally on the ribs.
03Lift the glass and wipe away condensation after use.

LITTLE MOMENTS. REAL USES.

Where it comes in handy.

Three everyday examples for this design.

Set a cold water glass on the coaster beside your laptop, with the base centred over the grooves.
Use a coaster for each chilled drink on the coffee table and wipe away condensation afterwards.
Keep one beside a reading chair for a glass that you lift and replace throughout the evening.

THE IDEA BEHIND IT

A small detail,
thought all the way through.

Raised ribs are intended to lift the glass above the surrounding rim and leave an open path for air. The design aims to reduce contact with pooled water; its behavior with different glass bases will be checked in prototypes.
