These Four Flexible Silicone Coasters Look Like Old School Floppy Discs
Alyson Wyers — October 24, 2014 — Art & Design
These silicone coasters feature a design that provide a blast from the past. From PHT Store Limited, the set of four retro drink coasters look just like floppy disks (an old school technology used to store information similar to today's USB flash drives for those of you born after 1997).
The novelty coaster set comes in a variety of colors like black, yellow, red and blue. The silicone coasters are non-slip and heat resistant making them ideal for protecting wood surfaces from both cold condensation-creating drinks and hot burn-causing beverages. Created to look like the real thing, the flexible mug mats were made in Hong Kong and also feature fun details (the top says 1.44 MB The Coaster Silicon Formatted, for example).
