We've all been that one person, who will leave a cool, refreshing drink (read iced drink) on the table while condensation takes its natural course of action and leaves your poor glass in a pool of water. And, if this has happened on a wooden table, you might just lose a friend in the process, or have your mother have a meltdown. So, it's time to take matters into your own hands and make sure you are a good host and well, a better guest! These brands make coasters that are sure to make your life easy, as it has mine.
Coaster Sets By These 10 Indie Brands Are Just What Your Table Needs
Over A Pint Of Beer
Well, the name is as clear as it can possibly get. Over A Pint Of Beer has some of the funkiest coasters I've seen in a while and I know I've already added my piece to the cart. A lot of their products have human elements and faces on them, from home furnishing to decor and even fashion. If you're the type to appreciate art, don't forget to add this to your collection!
Fun/ctional
If you love IKEA type of kitchenware, you'll love this brand called Fun/ctional. With contemporary designs, they have lovely coasters, trays and candle stands. The brand provides ethical alternatives to everyday products that are practical and pretty to look at. Most of their products are made with cork.
The Pitara Project
If you believe that living sustainably is the way to go, check out The Pitara Project, a brand that has all types of tableware, from wooden plates to coasters, wooden trays to even pen stands. These pieces are painted on with colourful geometric patterns and are a must for anyone who loves the minimalist trend.
House This
Give your dining space a makeover with products from House This—a brand that is known to create stunning pieces like their marble and brass coasters, wall art pieces, cushion covers, marble cheese platters and so much more. We love how simple their designs are and with the play of two elements, simple things like coasters get elevated to a whole new level.
ExclusiveLane
ExclusiveLane is a home decor brand doing colourful and vibrant products like lamps, hanging lights, trays, wind chimes, coasters and other quirky products. You'll find a lot of wooden coasters in different designs—some minimal, some rustic and some fun—usually in sets of four starting at INR 770.
Indigifts
Vibrant colours and fun prints is how we'd define Indigifts in a nutshell. In their catalogue, you'll spot mugs, water bottles, wall art and coaster sets. As the name suggests, all items are perfect for gifting.
Smartserve
This brand has a bunch of kitchen essentials like glassware (fancy and for daily use), trivets, coasters, water jugs, placemats and more. Expect floral and Aztec prints in lively colours made of MDF board. A set has about six coasters for INR 699, but on discounts you can get them for under 500 bucks, which is quite a steal.
Silken
If you're looking for eye-pleasing pieces, then coaster sets from Silken are just beautiful. The brand has a bunch of home items—clocks, coasters, trays, tables—made of epoxy and wood that come in shimmery white or aqua blue. We personally love this set of four that would amplify any table they're kept on.
Mason Home
Started in 2018 by Chirag Vora, Mason Home is all about modern luxury, and they've got a bunch of options for your space—from furniture to chic cutlery, artefacts to bathroom sets and even bedsheets. You'll find coasters made of glass, leather, wood, marble and resin. We're personally a huge fan of these fluted glass ones, just because of how luxurious yet minimal they look.
Living Waters
Living Waters is the creation of three artists who illustrate their hearts out. They've got a bunch of knick-knack items like mini magnets, wood pins, postcards, bookmarks, pouches and wallets. You'll find TV shows, and movie-inspired wooden coasters with a glossy finish for INR 175 each.
