PebbleArt Introduces Tumbled Marble Drink Coasters

PebbleArt's design studio has introduced a line of stone coasters made from unique pieces of imported, tumbled Indian Marble. This line represents a design transition for the company which has generally emphasized linear forms in their pieces.

(PRWEB) June 12, 2008 -- Known for innovation in the design of natural stone home products, PebbleArt has been the source of a wide variety of attractive pieces which emphasize the harmony between humans and the natural world. Their latest work is a line of drink coasters, which are made from the rarest and most exotic pieces of tumbled Indian marble.

What makes these coasters unique is the artistic review process, where design professionals with an eye for color sort through thousands of unique pieces of natural stone, in order to select the most exotic and attractive veins. The result is a union of personal human vision, and universal natural beauty, in each and every coaster.

The tumbling process is a method where the stone is placed in a distressed environment, much like a giant rock tumbler. As the environment moves, the stone begins to develop softer features which better reflect the core nature of the material itself.

All coasters are equipped with a cork underbelly, which is designed to elevate the piece, and protect furniture underneath from scratches or nicks. This padding also serves to keep the coasters stationary, even in a moist environment, on a slippery glass coffee table.

In the past the design company had avoided using tumbled materials as the shapes that emerged within many stones were highly irregular. This line is made possible by the discovery of advanced tumbling techniques that allow for the production of more uniform pieces. While the process is a balance between order and chaos, the result is that the coasters have an inherent personality, which can make them powerful, almost living pieces, within a space.

The new tumbled marble drink coasters are being offered to retail customers at http://coasters.pebblez.com/coasterfurniture.html. The company also has plans to distribute these products through their wholesale and resale outlets. More information about becoming a distribution partner can be acquired by emailing Joseph Lewis, the online relations manager, at info(at)PebbleZ.com
