Checkered and textured, this set of coasters delightfully brings to light the layerings of plywood. The design concept was centered in making the dissected and hidden portions of the material as visible and viable as the surface. I've always found Plywood to be beautiful and tactile, and set out to create hardy coasters that conveyed the same. Made from recovered and upcycled plywood, these sustainable coasters add pattern to any space they inhabit. A great set to share some coffee and conversations over.

This plywood was originally used as part of the theatrical production Hot Wing King at Signature Theatre in 2019. The show only ran for a week or so before the pandemic shut it down. It sat in the theatre, unused for a year, and unfortunately it was not able to reopen when the theatre industry started back up again. The crew of Signature called Final Strike Collaborative to collect the materials as they struck the show a year later. We are so glad they did, because this material is perfect for products like this! Through their donation we were able to keep ~50 sheets of plywood from the landfills, and that's a huge win in our books.
