Around 2008 I became interested in the moire effect and interactive patterns. |
I began to make and test patterns I liked the circular format because the effect repeats. |
This led to the a product idea, The Moire Drink Coaster. |

A moire effect is created when two circular patterns rotate one against the other. |

Circular revolving patterns to create a feeling of spatial disorientation |
"... a deep tranquil space for the introspective drinker" |
