Cara, essas originais descansadeiras inspiradas na arte do Shin Yun-bok são um verdadeiro achado! Os detalhes das pinturas ficam vivos nos coasters – me lembrou dos piqueniques no parque em primavera com os amigos. Especialmente ‘Romance Under the Moon’, que dá um toque poético a qualquer bebida, e sem dúvida é uma boa forma de puxar conversa numa noite à luz de velas. Fiquei encantada com como as cores saltam aos olhos! Sério mesmo, trouxe toda aquela vibração cultural para o meu canto aqui.
