Mogu-Kagu Wooden Coasters
These handmade, wooden coasters — designed by Mitsugu Morita of Japanese studio Mogu-Kagu and offered through an online shop called Ode to Things — have more personality than most others of their ilk (except maybe Bell & Oak's leather coasters).
Made from dark walnut or light cherry wood and with an oil-based satin finish, each coaster has a whimsically curved corner that makes it easier to grab and pick up. Get them for $26 apiece at Ode to Things.
