Every time we entertain we're reminded how much we love a good trivet. Whether a simple felt circle or something fancier, trivets can often be the perfect blend of form and function - because who says a trivet can't be pretty while protecting your table from a hot dish?




These are actually my favorite (though pricey)- they're laser cut rubber in rich, bright colors modeled on persian and middle eastern tiles. By images d'orient:

i really like that trivet in the picture, and have an awesome hack i'd like to try with it. reading your post, though, i have absolutely no idea--zilch, zero, none--which one is pictured. i can click through the 10 links you provided to see if you even link to it (which i'm sure will make those 10 companies *very* happy & they might even throw yet some more swag your way), or i can forget it. guess which one i'm going to choose to do?
