Brass Coaster 'Star' | Futagami

The elegant Hoshi coaster - Japanese for star - made of solid brass protects your table and also impresses as a design object, sure to leave a lasting impression on your guests.
Over time, oxidation changes the color of the metal: the longer brass objects are used, the richer and finer the surface becomes.

Hiroshima-born designer and architect Masanori Oji creates timeless everyday objects using traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

The brass foundry Futagami was founded in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, in 1897. In Japan, brass was primarily used for metal fittings in furniture making, architecture, shipbuilding, handicrafts, and for Buddhist altar furnishings.
