Irrawaddy Brass Coasters (pair)
Irrawaddy Brass Coasters (pair)
These brass coasters are heavy and satisfying. They make a lovely present and come in a small drawstring bag.
These coasters are made from pure, unlacquered brass — a living metal that naturally reacts with its environment. Over time, the polished finish will darken and develop a rich, warm patina that tells the story of every glass set upon it. Each coaster becomes one-of-a-kind, evolving with you and adding timeless character to your space.
If you prefer a brighter shine, simply polish it back to its golden glow.
Home is at the heart of Kalinko, the social enterprise bringing the best of Burmese craftsmanship into your living spaces.
The high quality and beauty of these homewares turns everyday items into something to cherish, from boho-style rattan furniture to hand-chiselled marble bathroom accessories.
Each Kalinko piece takes days, or even weeks, to make. They use the phrase “slow homeware” to describe the steady, age-old techniques their crafters use to create these long-lasting and sustainable items.
The artisans are based in villages right across Burma, with Kalinko working with around 300 small craft families.
38% of families in Burma live off $300 a month, yet the cost of adequate nutrition, healthcare and education is $750 a month. Kalinko aims to close this gap for its makers, reducing their need to rely on unskilled farming work to supplement their income.
Every piece you buy from them ensures these artisans get the fair pay their skills deserve. It’s a mission that makes their stunning homewares an even more meaningful addition to your home.
