 My coaster design is a mid century modern inspired, multipurpose coaster/ashtray. I think it could be laser cut out of wood in 6 layers, glued and stained, and assembled with brass rods. It also could have a sliding function to close the ashtray at the bottom. There could be many different ways to use the bottom tray. It could be used as an ashtray, the sliding action closing the lid would be helpful in this context. It could also be used as a snack holder, a coin tray, sugar and cream holder for when the coaster is used for coffee, so many possibilities!

  Im most excited about the last coaster, i think it would look the best and offer more funcionality then a traditional coaster. I would also like to make the aphex twin one, but its kind of boring and not as original as the last one. I wamt to make a coaster that ill actually use, and i think the last concept would be used the most.
