Carat coasters from Orrefors are elegant coasters that add an exclusive touch to table settings and serving. The coasters catch and reflect the light beautifully, creating an attractive shimmer beneath the glass. With their generous diameter of 10 cm, they are suitable for everything from whisky and cocktail glasses to wine glasses and other drinking glasses.
The Carat collection was designed by Swedish designer Lena Bergström and is characterised by an expression inspired by gemstones and classic jewel cutting. The collection combines traditional glass craftsmanship with contemporary design, where the distinctive facets refract the light and give the coaster its elegant, almost diamond-like appearance.
Orrefors has been producing glass since 1898 and is one of Sweden's best-known names in glass and crystal. During the 20th century, Orrefors played an important role in the international breakthrough of Swedish glass art, combining skilled craftsmanship with collaborations with prominent artists and designers. This tradition continues in today's collections, with Carat being a clear example of how classic crystal can be given a modern expression.
Orrefors Carat coasters are both decorative and practical. They protect tables and other surfaces from moisture and marks while adding an elegant detail to your serving.
Supplied in a 2-pack, they also make an excellent gift together with a pair of fine whisky, cocktail or drink glasses.

Orrefors is a name associated with Nordic elegance, clean design, and unique craftsmanship. Since 1898, the glassworks in Orrefors, Småland, has created glass and crystal that combine artistic vision with functional beauty. Through more than a century of innovation and creativity, Orrefors has established itself as an international symbol of Swedish design culture.
The story begins in the deep forests of Småland, where the Orrefors glassworks was founded on the site of a former ironworks. With access to forest for fuel and sand for glass production, the location was ideal for glassblowing. From the very beginning, the business was characterized by high quality and artistic ambition, but it was in the early 20th century that Orrefors truly stepped onto the international design scene.
During the 20th century, Orrefors became known worldwide for its ability to combine traditional Swedish glassblowing with modern design. The brand supplied glassware to Nobel banquets, royal households, and fine restaurants, while also creating beautiful everyday objects – always with the same sense of balance, light, and purity.
Today, Orrefors remains one of the most respected names in glass design. Production is carried out with artisanal skill combined with contemporary design, often in collaboration with leading Swedish and international designers.
