This Wood Coaster Also Doubles Up as a Puzzle
M — April 20, 2014 — Art & Design
This wood drink coaster not only keeps drink rings off of your furniture, but it also doubles up as a fun little puzzle. Available in a set of four, these wood coasters would add a fun, geometric design element to any home.
Etsy designer Ryan O'Neill makes these drink coasters by hand from solid oak. Each drink coaster is broken up into four geometric square, interlocking shapes that can be taken apart and put together like a fun, little puzzle. Because these coasters are made from wood rings, no two coasters look the same.
Another ingenious element to these coasters is their ability to be joined together, so you can actually piece them all together to create one giant coaster for plates and other hot dishes.
