Description

Taking cues from the meaning of 'kobo' or ray, this coaster radiates beauty in its design and construction. The raised ray pattern collects condensation from a glass to keep the surface below clean and dry. The coaster has a nice height and weight and features a rubber footing, giving it substantial presence without slipping or damaging a table. As with all Futagami brass designs, this piece develops a handsome patina over time.

Beyond a coaster it makes for a delightful improv candle stand for our Pine Cone or Hohepa Egg candles.

DETAILS

⋄ Made in Japan - Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture
⋄ Solid Brass / Rubber Feet
⋄ 'IHADA' casting – a crude surface finish
⋄ ØxH: 100 x 8 mm
⋄ 270g (Substantially weighty)

The brass gradually changes its colour over the course of years due to oxidization. The longer it is used, the richer and subtler it becomes.
This patina can also be acquired by soaking in vinegar for a few hours or overnight and conversely polished back with Brasso.

Ethically Made

Opting for cruelty-free alternatives not only reduces animal suffering but also promotes the use of more accurate and humane testing methods, such as in vitro and computer modeling.

Handcrafted

An illustration of a yellow leaf on a beige background.

Goods created by skilled artisans often using techniques passed down through generations rather than by automated, machine-based processes. Small irregularities are celebrated and are what make handcrafted goods unique.

Futagami

Since 1897, Futagami has carried a legacy of Japanese brass craftsmanship. Their roots lie in making beautiful Buddhist artefacts, a tradition that continues to influence their commitment to quality and longevity. Futagami has expanded into a successful homeware brand, but their core mission remains unchanged: crafting exquisite, handcrafted brass pieces built to last generations. Their unique alloy develops a rich patina over time, a testament to the natural aging process and the inherent beauty of the material.
