Art that you can touch

If you didn't know what these objects are suitable for, you could easily mistake them for sculptures. Their form is so unconventional that the function is hidden behind it.
Taken out of context, it is sometimes difficult to guess what certain items are suitable for. This is proven by the "What the hell is that" articles in which customers have to guess the purpose of a product. When I first saw the rings called "Pond" from Ferm Living hanging on the wall at a trade fair stand, I thought they were a work of art. But apparently they were just playing with my perception, because I later learnt that they were coasters.
I'm usually familiar with coasters in geometric shapes made of cork or felt. But these appear in a new shape. But these appear in a new shape. As their name "Pond" suggests, they are inspired by water and are therefore irregularly shaped like waves. Thanks to their simple beauty, you don't have to hide them away in the cupboard, but can hang them on the wall as an eye-catcher. You can simply take them off the nail when you need them.
In addition to Ferm Living, the designs of the brands Normann Copenhagen are also available., Alessi or Oyoy also inspire the imagination. These functional works of art make your everyday life easier and more beautiful at the same time.
