Umbra Grip Coasters Move About with Your Beverage
Amelia Roblin — September 24, 2013 — Art & Design
The surest way to keep tabletops stain-free is to be diligent with your coaster usage. These Umbra Grip Coasters make cocktail hours and tea parties even more leisurely by staying stuck to the bottoms of drinking vessels at all times. When you pick up your coffee cup, the mug rug remains attached. When you set it down again, the tabletop protector will always be positioned perfectly.
Made from colorful silicone circles, the household accessories have been designed as pliable claws that embrace the bases of teacups, wineglasses, tumblers and even cans and bottles. Three tabs allow the Umbra Grip Coasters to latch on and stay in place, collecting condensation and small spills in their bottoms. They perform far more effectively and easily than your typical coasters and they can be conveniently cleaned in the dishwasher.
