If you've ever sat down for a cuppa at your nana’s house, odds are your drink was lovingly placed on a Jason coaster. You probably didn’t think much of it at the time—but those little rectangles of acrylic-covered art are more than just table savers. They're Kiwi icons. Let’s peel back the coaster (not literally) and take a trip into the nostalgic world of Jason Products, one of New Zealand’s most beloved homeware brands.

Let’s be honest: modern homeware can feel like it came straight out of a copy-paste machine. Sure, it’s shiny—maybe even minimal—but often lacks what we like to call soul. Vintage, on the other hand, is homeware with a backstory. That chip on the teacup? A tale of countless afternoon teas and long-forgotten gossip. That floral motif? A design statement from someone who actually cared about the curve of a saucer and the angle of a handle.

In an age of fast interiors, vintage is a quiet rebellion. It’s intentional. It’s sustainable. And it’s charmingly imperfect. Whether it’s a set of Kiwi-made Jason coasters or a milk jug that’s seen more than its fair share of Sunday roasts, vintage homeware tells a story—and lets you write the next chapter. Because when it comes to decorating a home, old really is the new new.
