Having a cocktail party, NFL Fantasy Football draft or a batch of rowdy relatives dropping by?
Protect your beloved home furnishings and surfaces from the potential damage of that beverage guzzling crew – use eco-friendly coasters arranged in a very American fashion – the six-pack. Designer Josh Jakus has done a nice job in the design of these simple, reusable eco coasters.
Just tear out the individual coasters for use, then put them back in the ring for storage. The black version is made of SBR rubber – 100% recycled tires. The color sets are made of EPDM rubber – 30% post-industrial waste.
You can buy a six-pack at Fuz Farm for $15.
