Project Description

These coasters are limited edition craft products, designed by Freskiz Comunicate in Veneto and printed by Tipografia Badiese with artisanal passion. The Letterpress Coaster: 2014 Edition project was designed as a decorative element for designers, chefs, food bloggers, beer and wine lovers' tables.

Production Lesson(s)

These coasters are artisanal products, any slight imperfections are considered a virtue, not a defect. Since they are printed with letterpress, every one of our coasters is slightly different, even in colour! Inked on a Thompson British Auto Platen machine. Cardboard bonded with paper.”
