Dessous-de-verre en raphia noir à frange 16 cm

Key measurements for finding the right spot:

• Diameter: 16 cm including fringe
• Thickness: 1 cm
• Weight: 0.02 kg

All you need to know about the material:

• Three fibers dyed in the same matte black: raffia, sisal, and palm
• Center crocheted in three or four tight concentric rounds
• Unevenly cut fringe, intentionally messy look
• Usable seating area limited to the crocheted center, approximately 10 cm
• Overall diameter 16 cm, 0.02 kg
• Sold individually, for indoor use

A black coaster is a rarity, and this one does more than just protect: placed on a light wood tray or a marble table, the dark disc surrounded by radiating strands creates a small sun shadow. The effect works best with three or four on a coffee table, where the fringes overlap.

What you need to know for installation and maintenance:

• Wipe the bottom of the glass before placing it, as the black fiber may bleed when condensation occurs
• Shake the disc; never rub it
• Comb the fringe by hand from the center outwards
• Do not use it under a plate, as the fringe will flatten and not spring back
