Handmade copper coasters in Japan. The processes of shaping and colouring the copper coasters happen in the artist's lab.
It is different from painting. It is a traditional technique that utilizes the corrosive nature of copper and brass. By using natural ingredients and heat the artists develop playful patterns, and textures.
One by one, the items pass through the processes, and as a result each pattern is as unique as a fingerprint.
The copper coasters have a thin polymer layer at the bottom. Acting like a protective layer it helps with stacking them and protecting your table.

Story
For over 400 years, in Toyama prefecture, artists have masters metal casting and coloring using only simple tools and simple methods. Aiming to create modern items, inspiring colors, and beautiful patterns, Orii developed a range of products (including copper coasters) that have captivated interior designers in Japan. These objects offer a glimpse into Japan's modern design approach, still linked to personal effort and handwork, but detached from Tokyo, claiming an independent voice in design.
