Sumatran Symbols Coasters

Smoke Kinetic Glass Set
From Cedric Mitchell Design, these glasses are a beautiful combination of function and pure satisfaction – as elegantly designed smoke gray glass swivels on an alabaster and silver sphere. The shape of the glass increases the intimate experience of drinking liqueur, cognac, and whiskey by accentuating the movement and aroma of the liquid.
Asian Woodlands Salad Plate Set
These colorful salad plates feature nature-inspired details from four objects in the Department of Asian Art at The Met—a 19th-century hanging scroll by Suzuki Kiitsu, a 19th-century Japanese writing box, a porcelain bottle from 16th-century China, and an 18th-century decorative box formerly attributed to Ogata Kōrin. In East Asian art, the deer often signifies longevity, good fortune, and prosperity.
Edible Schoolyard Project Tea Towel
Inspired by The Edible Schoolyard Project, Jann Cheifitz, founder of Lucky Fish, designed these super absorbent tea towels and hand-printed them on a traditional flour sack cotton. They feature a playful universe of images drawn from nature. These only get softer and more absorbent with each washing as the cotton blooms. 10% of each tea towel sold benefits The Edible Schoolyard program.
