This Set of 3 Square Coconut Wood & Bone Inlay Coasters represents a sophisticated fusion of Kenyan natural materials and artisanal design. Hand-carved from the distinctive, fibrous wood of the coconut palm, these coasters feature smooth cow bone inlays hand-etched with a delicate leaf motif using traditional batik techniques.
The contrast between the dark, textured grain of the coconut wood and the clean, white bone makes this set a functional piece of art for any modern or bohemian home.
Key Features
-
Unique Coconut Wood Grain: Sourced from sustainable palm trees, coconut wood is known for its high durability and exotic "speckled" appearance.
-
Artisan Batik Bone Inlay: Each coaster is hand-fitted with ethically sourced bone, etched by hand to create a timeless leaf design.
-
Square Minimalist Profile: The sleek square shape offers a modern alternative to traditional round coasters, providing a stable surface for various glassware sizes.
-
Naturally Moisture Resistant: Coconut wood is dense and naturally handles condensation better than many softer woods.
-
Handcrafted in Kenya: Every set is individually made, meaning no two coasters are exactly alike in grain or etching.
Primary Uses
-
Surface Protection: Safeguards your coffee table, desk, or dining surfaces from water rings, heat, and scratches.
-
Barware Styling: Elevates the presentation of cocktails, coffee, or tea.
-
Gift-Giving: A thoughtful, eco-friendly gift for housewarmings, weddings, or as a "thank you" for a host who appreciates global craftsmanship.
Care Instructions
Because these are made from natural, porous materials, a little care goes a long way:
-
Hand Wipe Only: Use a damp cloth to wipe away spills. Never submerge them in water or place them in the dishwasher, as this will cause the wood to swell and the inlay to loosen.
-
Dry Promptly: After use with cold drinks, wipe off any excess moisture with a soft towel.
-
Oil Occasionally: To maintain the deep luster of the wood and the brightness of the bone, rub with a tiny drop of food-grade mineral oil or coconut oil every 4–6 months.
-
Avoid Extreme Heat: Do not place hot pans directly from the stove onto the coasters; they are designed for beverage temperatures.
