Travertine Coasters Set of 6 Handmade in Italy | Natural Beige Stone Cork Backed | Round or Drop Shape | Authentic Italian Gift

TRAVERTINE COASTER SET — by Kalu Creations

Warm. Earthy. Unmistakably Italian.
Beige travertine — one of Italy's most beloved natural stones, used in Roman architecture for millennia — hand-cut into six elegant coasters by Luca Russo, a government-recognized Master Craftsman ("Maestro Artigiano") with over 50 years of family tradition in stone, at Marmeria Russo's workshop in Puglia, Southern Italy.

Each coaster in this set of 6 carries the warm sandy tones, natural fossil inclusions, and characteristic texture that make travertine instantly recognizable — and completely unreplicable by any synthetic material. Cork backing on every piece protects your furniture from scratches and water rings. The result is a coaster set that feels like a piece of the Italian landscape, brought to your table.

✦ CHOOSE YOUR SHAPE

• Round: soft, harmonious, and classic. A perfect circle, 10 cm in diameter. The warm beige of travertine pairs effortlessly with linen, wood, terracotta, and every warm-toned interior style.

• Drop: the unexpected shape. A fluid, organic drop form carved from natural beige travertine — for those who want something genuinely original on their table. Unique in its shape, unchanged in its function. A coaster that starts conversations.

Both shapes feature the same natural Beige Travertine, the same cork backing, and the same standard of Italian craftsmanship.

✦ WHY TRAVERTINE
Travertine is a sedimentary limestone formed by mineral springs — it carries within it the fossil traces of millions of years of Italian geology. Its warm, sandy palette and characteristic surface texture bring an earthy, Mediterranean warmth to any home. It is naturally heat-resistant, easy to clean, and develops even more character over time. Unlike marble, which is cool and sleek, travertine is warm and tactile — a stone that invites you to touch it. And unlike wood or fabric, it will never warp, fade, or absorb odors.

✦ CRAFTSMANSHIP & DETAILS
Hand-cut from a single piece of natural Beige Travertine — no resin, no composite, no artificial materials. Cork backing on every coaster — protects furniture from scratches, water rings, and moisture. Smooth, carefully finished edges for a refined, safe profile. Size: Ø10 cm. Thickness: approximately 1 cm. Set of 6 coasters. Every piece is individually inspected before leaving our workshop in Puglia.

✦ CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry immediately. Do not submerge in water or place in the dishwasher. Travertine is naturally porous — avoid prolonged contact with strongly acidic liquids on the surface. With proper care, travertine improves with age.

✦ THE PERFECT GIFT
Six travertine coasters, beautifully wrapped with the Kalu Creations branded band — a warm, genuine, and unexpected gift. Perfect for housewarmings, weddings, and anyone who appreciates natural materials, Italian design, and objects that last. The kind of gift that nobody returns.
