A clever blend of sustainable materials and industrial precision, these coasters are a staple from the Wiid Design studio. They feature a unique "sandwich" construction: a thin stainless steel disc is laminated between two layers of light composite cork. This hidden core adds a satisfying weight and ensures the coasters stay perfectly flat and rigid.
The surface is patterned with recycled rubber, creating a vibrant, Terrazzo-like finish. They are a practical, long-lasting way to bring contemporary Cape Town design to your coffee table or desk.

3. About Wiid Design
Based in Observatory, Laurie Wiid van Heerden is globally recognised for his pioneering work with cork. His studio focuses on creating intentional, well-made objects that are built to last.
4. Uses & Versatility
- Surface Protection: The natural heat-resistance and softness of cork make these safe for any tabletop, while the steel core prevents them from warping over time.
- Functional Styling: These work well as a base for a single glass or as a small, non-slip stand for a bedside candle.
- Gifting: Because of their designer pedigree and durable build, they make a thoughtful, high-quality gift.
