Asemi Co. X Pineskins Coasters
Asemi Co. X Pineskins Coasters
This is a collaboration project with Studio Sarmite, who invented this vegetarian leather-like material made of the inner bark of pine trees. Every coaster is hand crafted.
The coasters emit a calming fragrance of pine and bees wachs, the main ingredients in the creation of these unique pieces.
The pure natural aesthetic of the circular Pineskins coaster creates a perfect symbiosis with our minimalist Hinoki Wood Tray.
The coaster can be used to protect valuable furniture surfaces from liquids, as inlay for our Hinoki Tray or as base to place your keys or other items on.
The PineSkins coasters are available as set of 2 or set of 4, as well as single Hinoki tray and PineSkins coaster set.

Care Instructions
Any residue and dust can be cleaned off with a damp cloth.
Occasionally or if the bark feels a little dry, it can be waxed with a neutral wax / shoe wax or coconut oil.
How to wax: take a soft cotton fabric and rub it into wax. Apply evenly on bark. If the bark has become a little dry, apply generously and let it soak in for a couple of hours or overnight. Clean leftovers with clean cloth.
If the bark becomes too moist, put it between sheets of paper / book for a couple of hours.
PineSkins does not do well for prolonged periods in direct, hot sunlight or next to a hot object, such as a radiator.
PineSkins will also not appreciate being left for long periods in a very humid room, soaked completely wet or left outside in rain or cold.
Being a natural material, it is sensitive to extreme climate changes
PineSkins will thrive in a regular home ambience.
