the finer details
The set includes six solid stone coasters and a matching sculptural holder with an architectural silhouette. Left intentionally unpolished and sealed only with food-grade beeswax, the onyx retains its natural texture and quiet depth, with subtle variations that make every set one of a kind.
Designed to elevate everyday rituals, these coasters balance function and form. Style them on a coffee table, dining table, bar cart, or nightstand to protect surfaces while adding grounded, organic beauty to your space.
Each piece is handmade by artisans in Balochistan, Pakistan and designed and finished in California. Variations in color, veining, and surface texture are natural and celebrated as part of the stone’s story.

shop all →— the origin
carved from a single stone.
Onyx forms in slow, mineral-rich pockets underground — layers laid down over thousands of years. Each slab is split once, then carved by hand, which is why no two pieces share the same ribboning.
We keep the walls thin so light passes through when the piece sits on a window ledge.
