Colonial Rattan and Shell Coaster 15 cm

Key measurements for finding the right spot:

• Diameter: 15 cm including shells
• Thickness: 1 cm
• Weight: 0.06 kg

Everything you need to know about the materials:

• Rattan center woven in a tight spiral, left natural
• About twenty whole cowries, sanded on the back and tied one by one
• Flat seat about ten centimeters, shells overflowing
• Overall diameter 15 cm, 0.06 kg
• Reserved for glasses and cups with a narrow base
• Sold individually, for indoor use

Contrast is key: a matte brown center, a pearlescent cream rim that catches the light. The result evokes a flower rather than a table accessory, and it stands perfectly on its own on a console or shelf, without a glass on top.

What you need to know for installation and maintenance:

• Use a dry cloth on the shells; never use an abrasive sponge, which will scratch the polish.
• Neither acidic products nor very hot water should be used, as the cowrie's pearly lacquer will irreversibly tarnish.
• Regularly check the cotton knots, as this is where the piece will loosen.
• Re-tie any cowrie that starts to dangle without delay.
