Proposed dimensionsApprox. 10 W x 10 D x 1 H cm per piece

A design in development, not photographed finished stock. Images explore the intended form and use; final colours, dimensions and details may change after physical trials. No orders or payments are accepted.

01 / A drawing, put to use

A small gesture.
An everyday place.

A territory can be no larger than the circle left by a cup. These four small surfaces turn an ordinary trace into a scattered map. Pale and dark pieces share broken paths and uneven boundaries, but never make a perfect puzzle. Their relation is conversational: near one another, still independent.

02 / Form & function

Useful, without
being ordinary.

These are design targets, not confirmed measurements of finished stock. W = width, D = depth, H = height.

Object
Four-piece coaster study
Size target
Approx. 10 W x 10 D x 1 H cm per piece
Intended use
Four small surfaces for the bases of everyday drinking vessels.
Form
Four rounded, irregular tiles with related marks, each holding a different part of a drawn landscape.
Material direction
Proposed fine mineral casting composite with integral colour, inset pigments, a moisture-resistant finish under evaluation and soft backing.
Colour direction
Charcoal, muted cobalt and oxide-red marks are proposed within shallow recesses. The casting, pigment and finish systems will be selected together after adhesion and transfer trials.
Proposed contents
One set of four cast coasters, soft base/contact pads where needed, and a care card. All glasses, pens, remotes, cables, paper and other styling props are excluded.
Weight
To be measured on a finished prototype.
Development checks
Test condensation, staining, heat from ordinary cups and table protection. Not a trivet or a food-contact plate; no waterproof claim.
Availability
Coming soon. No stock, release date or reservation is offered.

03 / Look closer

Form. Reverse. Surface. Use.

Small Territories, front and reverse angles, surface detail and intended everyday use
Four visual studies of one proposed design. These images illustrate an intended direction, not certified performance or finished stock.

04 / Before it becomes a product

Small scale.
Considered carefully.

A functional object must work beyond the image. Final materials, fit, applicable product requirements and durability will be checked before release.

Use and fit

Four small surfaces for the bases of everyday drinking vessels. Test condensation, staining, heat from ordinary cups and table protection. Not a trivet or a food-contact plate; no waterproof claim.

A surface that stays with the object

The intended finish uses integral colour or bound pigment in shallow recesses, rather than exposed drawing charcoal or wax crayon. Dry and damp rubbing, adhesion and contact-surface trials must establish the final finish; no rub-fast, waterproof or non-toxic claim is currently made.

Care direction

For indoor adult home or studio use. Until the finish is confirmed, keep dry, dust gently, lift rather than slide and avoid soaking, solvents, abrasive cleaners and direct heat. These objects are not proposed as toys, food-contact utensils or hot-pan trivets. Product-specific instructions will accompany any release.

Simple, protective packaging

A stock kraft carton with smooth protective wrap, folded corrugated pads and paper cushioning is proposed. Individual cells will separate a multi-piece set. No custom rigid box is required for the initial trial. Packed movement, rubbing and impact protection will be checked with real samples; the packaging plan is not yet transport-tested.

Price and availability

The ₩79,000 shown here is an indicative design-stage KRW price, not a checkout offer. Final pricing, specifications, applicable labelling and delivery terms will be confirmed before orders open.
