A bureau itself can be instantly less exciting the moment it becomes home to hi-tech computer technology, but with the Internet Coaster Set, your actual desktop can acquire some online characteristics.
Meninos introduces 16 different mug rugs that will keep horrible coffee cup stains from forming on your tabletop. They're made of MDF plywood with vinyl decals and varnish that insure better liquid protection than your laptop can handle.
Most iconically, the collection of tiny trays features a different symbol on each one, duplicated in the colors blue and orange. All referencing web functions, you'll find the AddThis plus sign, the RSS feed icon, XML and the letters R, S and S. The Internet Coaster Set may not allow actual online interaction, but it's a chic geek statement to have these decorating your home.
