"Great quality coasters. They arrived in padded packaging. Each coaster is identical. They are smooth on top and seem very durable. The image and lyrics are very high resolution. The subtle shadow of the guitar is a nice touch. I got a set of 6. I'm so happy!" Deanna ★★★★★

David Bowie drinks coaster inspired by his iconic white customised Dual Tone Reality Album/Tour guitar. This very collectable high quality, hard wearing, high gloss and heat resistant melamine coaster design is unique to Rock’n’Roll Redux and is not available in stores.

Shipping: A word to the wise… Although we do dispatch as single items, we highly recommend that customers purchase at least two coasters because they can immediately halve the postage cost per item. Buy three, it gets even better and so on...

Size: 10cm x 10cm (3.94” x 3.94”)

Production: Created on robust, high quality, hard wearing, scratch resistant melamine with a high gloss finish that can withstand temperatures of up to 140ºc. The coasters are hand-made ethically in the UK with a sustainably sourced Eucalyptus board base and a non-slip cork backing. “In a world of mass produced, cheaply manufactured coasters, produced on unprotected paper surfaces that begin to stain, scratch, lose their colour and peel in just a matter weeks, Rock’n’Roll Redux coasters are in a completely different league, on a completely different planet. If you don’t believe me, read the reviews.” David Lloyd

This Dual Tone beauty became David Bowie’s favourite guitar and main live instrument on the 'Reality' album and throughout his final world tour, 'A Reality Tour' (2003-2004). Although he played a variety of guitars throughout his long career, he enjoyed a special relationship with this iconic vintage 60’s Supro Dual Tone that features on the cover of the live DVD from the Point Theatre in Dublin, Ireland.

Designed exclusively for John7Arts / Rock'n'Roll Redux by multimedia artist David Lloyd, an alumni of Central Saint Martins School Of Art and the Institute Of Contemporary Arts in London. Employing the Découpe (cut-up) technique in which written text is cut up and rearranged to create a different and perhaps unexpected new narrative, David has employed shards of lyrics to give discerning fans an opportunity to engage in 'discover the songs' beneath a foreground featuring an iconic and classic guitar. The Découpe concept can be traced back to at least the Dadaists of the 1920s, but was popularised in the late 1950s and early 1960s by writer William S. Burroughs and later employed by David Bowie, Kurt Cobain and Thom Yorke. Each unique Rock’n’Roll Redux design ©2020 David Lloyd.
