I don’t know if it’s because I have fond memories of two enjoyable Summers working in a lumber yard while in college, driving forklifts and what-not, but I’m quite enamored with these industrial-looking miniature wooden shipping palette coasters. Created by Spain-based Labyrinth Design Studio, the palettes are exact 1/10th scale replicas of the ones used in Europe, complete with quality stamps. They even come strapped together sitting on their own mini palette, making these mini forklift toys we brought you a few years ago a must-have accessory. A set of 5 coasters is available from designboom’s online store for $21.
I worked a shitty retail job for four years, but I too have great memories of driving the forklift around the backroom, picking up pallettes and placing them on shelves. Also: picking people up with the forklift so they could climb up into the rafters. Dont tell OSHA I said that.
