Woolsack - Set of 4 Glass Coasters

From our "Woven" collection, this is an iconic New Zealand texture. Wool sacks or fadges were originally woven from the very wool they would later carry. Lower value parts of the fleece were woven into this strong fabric and sewn into the square sacks used in shearing sheds throughout the country. Most are made of synthetic fibers today, but this design harks back to the original woollen weave.

10 cm x 10 cm coasters, set of 4

Our glass pieces are individually handmade, using glassworking methods developed over centuries.

Textures and motifs drawn from our New Zealand and Pacific heritage are hand sculpted into forms and kiln-fired. Glass is then fired over these forms, and as the kiln temperature rises, the glass softens and slumps into the mold, capturing the finest of details in a negative bas-relief.

Our coaster edges are curved and softened by the kiln to be gentle on surfaces, and each coaster is fitted with 4 rubber feet to prevent slipping and provide a further heat barrier to protect your table tops.
