A simple gesture — you place your warm tea on the table — and a soft, natural coaster catches the cup. Hand-woven by artisans in Yogyakarta, this seagrass coaster does more than protect your furniture; it adds a touch of natural, seaside calm to your home.
Why seagrass is a special material
Seagrass is a fast-renewing marine plant harvested in a sustainable way. It has a fine texture and a discreet, natural sheen — not glossy, not shiny, but quietly beautiful. You can feel the warmth of handcraft in the touch: every strand is slightly different from the next, and that is exactly what gives the piece its character.
How it protects your table
The textured surface keeps cups, mugs and glasses in place so they do not slide on the dinner table. It catches the heat from hot drinks and the condensation from cold ones, protecting wooden or marble surfaces underneath. It does its job simply and cleanly — exactly as a good coaster should.
The work of Indonesian artisans
This piece was hand-woven in Yogyakarta — the fringed border is the telltale sign of handcraft, setting it apart from machine-made alternatives. Workshops in Indonesia have been weaving similar items from natural fibers for generations, and you receive a small piece of that tradition.
Where it fits in your home
The natural, warm tone pairs with almost any interior — it looks particularly nice in Scandinavian, Japandi, boho or minimalist rooms. Combine it with other similarly-fibered pieces (a table runner, coasters under small bowls) and you will create a calm, harmonious table setting that is not flashy, just naturally pleasing.
