The coaster was made as a advertisement. 30%less size and materials used.

The slogan that was made by the advertiser "Met recht een viltje " was used to put emphasis on the new compact design and the experience of it.

From my translator (it seems quite good!)

met recht een vilt-je!

truly a coaster!

Wordplay · The Dutch phrase 'met recht' means 'truly' or 'rightfully', but it also literally means 'with law', creating a pun on the fact that 'viltje' (coaster) sounds like 'fieltje' (a little crook/villain).

A literal translation that captures the basic meaning but misses the idiomatic wordplay between 'vilt' (felt/coaster) and 'felt' (past tense of feel).
