Alessi's bottle coaster helps you to protect your table and other surfaces from rings and marks left by glasses, cans and bottles. Made from stainless steel, the coaster is so elegant that you'll want to keep it on hand even when there are no drinks around. In between its original purpose, the glass coaster works well as a storage place for small objects in the hallway or living room, for example. The stylish bottle coaster is designed by Italian Ettore Sottsass.
