Celebrating its 10th anniversary, this product is a leather coaster that will become more beautiful with longer usage through repeated use over 10, 20 and 30 years. The product has been used as corporate gifts and souvenirs to convey the omotenashi spirit of the sender as an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to paper coasters.
For corporate customers, this product can be ordered with original designs from 50 leather pieces. The leather on the front, nubuck leather on the back and stitching can be selected in a variety of combinations with more than 1,000 color variations available. The front surface is made of water-resistant genuine leather, while the back is made of nubuck leather that serves as a non-slip surface. Each engraving is foil-stamped by a craftsperson who adjusts the heat and strength of the stamp.
HANAZONO, one of the products for individual customers, is designed as a collage of flowers in accordance with the traditional Japanese ikebana style. It expresses the spirit of welcoming guests as well as the dignified beauty of Japan.
All of the leather used for this product is a by-product of food processing, and is carefully tanned by a lead- and phthalate-free process. By selecting environmentally friendly materials, GRANESS hopes to make a small contribution to a sustainable society.
