/ HOME GOODSThis coaster set draws inspiration from the unmistakable design language of iconic guitar amplifiers, channeling the bold textures, vintage detailing, and Rock-n-Roll attitude that defined generations of aesthetic.

Each coaster captures the essence of classic amp aesthetics: woven grille cloth patterns, brushed metal control plates, tactile knob graphics, and signature panel layouts reimagined in a refined, functional form. Carefully handcrafted from durable, heat-resistant ceramic, The Decibel Set protects your tabletops from heat and sweat while delivering a backstage pass to timeless design.
