lucky coasters that will enhance your olympic viewing pleasure

Friday, August 8, 2008

As you watch the world's best athletes groan, strain, and generally test the limits of human endurance, you'll want to make sure that you have something practical and visually attractive on which to rest your cocktail. Happily, the clever folks at Shanghai Tang have come up with just the thing: a set of brightly colored coasters adorned with Chinese symbols that are traditionally believed to bring good fortune (it's all part of the Luck 2008 collection, timed to a certain athletic event beginning today in Beijing). The metal and enamel medallions should ensure that you don't break a sweat worrying about stains on your coffee table.
