They may not be Vivienne Westwood clad Harajuku girls, but these Japanese fruits are just as worthy of a place on the coffee table or a place in Gwen Stefani’s posse.
Behold a set of six fruity coasters that will never sour, have no pips and certainly won’t allow for any water marks on your furniture. They’re cutting edge and kitsch just like the FRUiTS of Harajuku, and just a little bit B-A-N-A-N-A-S. But more likely apple and pear, because a round shape really lends itself to high-balls more than a crescent does. Get them at the most delightful home-stuffs boutique this side of Japan, Zakkaya.
