While his furniture is so widely recognized, Aino's contributions to Finnish design deserve just as much attention.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese coasters take their distinctive shape from Aino's Riihitie Plant Pot, designed in 1937 for the terrace of the Aaltos' home in Helsinki. I love that Hender Scheme chose to revisit this rather unusual, organic form, originally conceived in ceramic, and translate it into something as familiar as a leather coaster.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade from vegetable-tanned leather, the coasters will gradually darken with exposure to light, moisture, and everyday handling. Even the circular marks left by a glass become part of their character. It's a lovely way to bring a little piece of Aino Aalto's design history to the table, and I especially appreciate that the original shape remains so recognizable despite the change in material and scale.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCoasters were curated by Stevenson Aung\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\/Maker \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaker: \u003c\/b\u003eArtek x Hender Scheme\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigner: \u003c\/b\u003eAlvar Aalto x Ryo \u003cspan\u003eKashiwazaki\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e3.1\" (w) x 4.0\" (l) x 0.1\" (h) or 7.9 cm (w) x 10.2 cm (l) x 0.3 cm (h)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNatural Cow Leather \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA special collaboration between Artek and Hender Scheme\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet of 4 coasters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited series\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural raw vegetan leather\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinterprets Aino Aalto’s signature “Riihitie A” form\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines Finnish modernist design with Hender Scheme’s Japanese leather craftsmanship\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects tabletops and other surfaces from glasses and cup spills\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTactile leather surface develops a distinctive patina through everyday use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather naturally responds to sunlight and moisture, with marks from glasses and cups becoming part of its evolving character\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses natural texture of leather, which will vary in color and texture per item\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Artek x Hender Scheme","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51720193540342,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/5843\/files\/Hender_Scheme_Artek_Coasters_Natural_Featured_6ad60223-6a95-4f2d-9acd-ce2505adfd58.jpg?v=1790804685","url":"https:\/\/shop.nalatanalata.com\/products\/coasters-set","provider":"Nalata Nalata","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
