Monserrate Coasters
Handmade by survivor artisans from Zuahaza in Colombia to preserve traditional crafts and culture through collaborative design.
The Monserrate Mountain, the namesake of these coasters, sits more than 980 feet above sea level and is located in the heart of Bogotá. Considered by the Muisca people a sacred mountain before the Spanish conquest, this mountain received its name from Montserrat in Catalonia. Today, Monserrate is one of the most visited mountains in Bogotá where people enjoy the beautiful cityscape view of the capital of Colombia.
These beautifully woven coasters help keep your tabletops stylishly safe from liquids.
