These wood honeycomb hot pads (also known as trivets) are unique, eye-catching, and extremely functional. They're laser cut from 1/4" (6mm) thick high-quality baltic birch plywood and each one is 8" (20cm) in diameter. The wood hot pads are both lightweight and durable due to their design and the nature of the wood's construction. The hexagonal honeycomb pattern offers enough surface area to protect whatever surface it's on from heat when setting hot pots or pans on it. The hot pad / trivet compliments any kitchen space quite well, regardless of style. It's lightweight yet incredibly sturdy, and can be stored almost anywhere.
