Local home decor brand Concrete Studio together with Skinny laMinx have created a fun limited edition range of concrete coasters, exclusively for VISI.
Playing and having fun creating patterns has always been at the heart of Heather Moore’s Skinny laMinx brand. “After spotting the patterns I generated during my #100daysofpattern challenge last year, Charmaine Nolte of Concrete Studio approached me about producing a range of concrete tile designs,” says Heather. The result? A collection of concrete wall and floor tiles inspired by the shapes and colours she sees in her everyday life in Cape Town and on her travels.
Fast forward a few months and this collection has now expanded to include an exciting limited edition concrete coaster collab with VISI.
The coasters are made from concrete with a cork base underneath. The collection is sold in sets of four and is available in four fun designs which means you can mix and match to create patterns:
Sunny Day
Inspired by the promise of Summertime! The days are longer, the mountain is full of flowers, and there’s sunshine to warm our bones.
*This collab is no longer available.
Breeze in Brown
The Breeze design is inspired by the beautiful patterns made by pierced brick and concrete architectural screens and walls, evoking cool protection and dappled light.
*This collab is no longer available.
Palmetto
The Palmetto design was inspired by a trip Heather Moore from Skinny laMinx took to Tokyo, and the shapes and shadows of palm fronds waving in the breeze.
*This collab is no longer available.
Breeze in Petrol
The Breeze design is inspired by the beautiful patterns made by pierced brick and concrete architectural screens and walls, evoking cool protection and dappled light.
*This collab is no longer available.
Plant The Belly Band
The belly band wrapped around each coaster set is made from Growing Paper. Growing Paper is a handmade paper skilfully crafted from waste paper collected from schools and businesses. The product not only keeps waste paper from our landfills, but helps create jobs for people in the Malmesbury community. By planting this belly band you’re not only supporting and empowering a local community project, but are making the earth a prettier and greener place, too.
