Love Grows Here Botanical Arch Corkwood Coaster Set

Fitting a tall arch onto a round coaster took redrawing rather than resizing, and the result keeps the essentials: the curve, the script Love, the terracotta rule and the eucalyptus at the base, balanced within the circle. Against natural cork the terracotta reads earthy rather than bright, and the flecks in the material sit under the line work like texture in handmade paper.

The printed face handles condensation from a cold glass without staining and the grippy backing keeps each coaster on the table when the glass lifts. A damp cloth is all the cleaning they need. For couples setting up a home together, a full set covering the coffee table is one of those unglamorous gifts that gets used every single evening, which is a decent definition of a good one.
