Laser-cut design study

Tea coasters

Openwork coasters for laser-cutting from 4 mm plywood, drawing on Chinese window lattices, lotus, plum blossom, bamboo and cloud motifs. All nine follow one set of rules: a 5 mm rim, wood between cuts at least 2.5 mm wide, no loose pieces, and enough solid wood under a 45–70 mm cup foot. These are flat previews; none has been cut yet.
