Process

Multiple layers of sustainably-sourced native hardwood are individually hand-dyed, rubbed, and finished to produce dramatic 3D topographic effects. We handcraft premium coasters that not only tell a powerful story of Bostonians’ way of living along the Charles River, but also blend with every day’s morning, afternoon, and night rituals to make you find your own ‘Hygge’ in every moment.

An ordinary everyday thing made simply extraordinary

Based on the Danish word HYGGE (pronounced hue-gah) - A feeling or mood that comes from taking genuine pleasure in making ordinary everyday things simply extraordinary.
​
Muddy Charles aim to make you find you own ‘Hygge’ in every moment.
