What: Tablemats & Coasters
Where: Dinah Coops - Tablemats – $35; Coasters – $12
Why: Looking for a fun and sustainable way to dress up your table? Try these simple, modern and colorful designs from Dinah Coops. She hand silk screens each one with her signature combination of organic images and whimsical doodles. Fun to mix and match colors and prints for an artfully inspired table setting, that would look equally at home on your walls.
And the canvas for this table art is none other than Paperstone, the same material we coveted for our kitchen countertops.
Paperstone is made from post-consumer recycled paper and a petroleum-free resin (which makes it recyclable) and is an FSC, Smartwood and Rainforest Alliance-certified material.
Dinah transfers her images onto the Paperstone squares and then seals them with a protective coating of water-based polyurethane and silicone and backed with a thin layer of cork. These make great trivets too as they can rated up to temperatures of 350 degrees.
