The record coaster in two lines
This is the round record coaster in natural rubber, 10 centimetres across: it reproduces a seven inch single, centre label and grooves included. Six colours.
Who it is for
For anyone with a recognisable line in music. In a room where the music is part of the identity and not only background, a detail like this on the table says what the place is.
A reference that reads at once
The seven inch single is the most recognisable musical object there is, and it is not tied to one decade the way others are: it works in a room playing soul as well as one playing punk. That is why the record coaster has a wider audience than the models tied to a single era, and it also sits well where the theme is not declared but the music has been chosen with care.

Six colours, and the two ways to use them
Mixed, and the table becomes a small collection. Or assigned by area or by shift, and then the record coaster stops being decoration and becomes a code: whoever carries the drinks knows where they go without asking, and one look across the room says which tables have already been served. The second use is the one that pays for the purchase.
Natural rubber, and why it is the right material
It takes the mould well, so the concentric grooves and the label actually read instead of being hinted at. It does not slide on the table and it does not stick to the base of the glass, which is the fault of card: card glues itself to the condensation and lifts with the drink. And it does not absorb, so stains do not go in and one wipe is enough.
When it does not fit
If the service is formal. A themed coaster under a list of classics served in crystal says something different from the rest of the room, and the guest registers it: not as a mistake, but as a note out of place. In that case the slate effect model does the same job without saying anything.
How many to keep
Twice the covers served at once, because a wet one has to dry before it goes back under another drink. On a themed object it also pays to keep a few spare: these are the coasters that disappear, because somebody takes a liking to them, and running out of the right colour breaks the room code if you are using one.
Which glasses it suits
Round ones, which is almost all cocktail glassware. The circular shape repeats the base of the glass and the two read as one thing, while under a square or faceted glass the contrast between the shapes shows. It is a small detail, but in a service where the table gets photographed it counts as much as the colour.
Care
A damp cloth or warm water, and dry completely before putting them back in service. No industrial dishwasher: high heat softens natural rubber, and the grooves of the mould are the first thing to flatten. On an object chosen for its relief, that is exactly what gets lost.
