This story came about, as many stories on this site do, because of something I needed. I recently upgraded to a vintage Borge Mogensen dining table, and while it certainly feels indestructible, I don’t particularly want to test out that theory. But when I went looking for coasters to protest its beautiful surface, I was honestly surprised to see how few options there were (I went with an unlacquered brass, which I’m already regretting). So I figured I would dig deeper for this column, and while I’d still like to see 200 percent more innovation in this category (it’s a tiny little canvas that has little to no bearing on your actual decor, go crazy!) there was still a lot to love. As always, if you have some to recommend, DM us on Instagram, a website is a living document and additions are possible!
