Big Cartel online shop madebyerica was founded by tufting and stained glass artist Erica Gleason. The Los Angeles-based creator specializes in artful rug accessories, sculptural mirrors and tufted coaster decor with a nostalgic look and feel. With influences from the 60s and 90s, madebyerica's products are colorful and playful, often taking on floral shapes or displaying animal prints and geometric motifs.
The e-shop's tufted coasters are a best-seller sold in a 4-piece set. The coasters are sold in assorted colors, hand-selected by the artist -- with shades ranging from white and yellow to pink, red, green, blue and orange.
With maker culture at a rise as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Millennial and Gen Z consumers are ditching minimalist home decor in exchange for pieces that embody craftsmanship and personality. These coasters are no exception and are reflective of artist Erica Gleason's bold personal aesthetic.
