Our Eco Home Decor - Small Avery Basket

Imagine holding this gorgeous bundle of copper in your hands – it feels luxurious, holds the most intricate patterns and makes even the smallest of spaces look sparkling and beautiful…

The inspiration behind our eco home decor...

The inspiration for our Avery Baskets came from the initial creation of our woven copper bowls, mixed with the beautiful old fashioned bird aviaries that you would imagine finding inside an elegant mansion by the seaside. Rather than fully enclosing the basket, we also wanted to represent freedom within the design by leaving the top open and allowing whatever is inside to be touched by the fresh air. We created a very special weaving technique for these baskets which has now been adopted into our Honeycomb Plates as well.  We realise that Avery is spelt entirely different to the “aviary” that the baskets are inspired by but we wanted to put our own Sophia. twist on them and keep them as unique as possible…

Eco home decor - The story behind the art...

Birds flutter in, out and around our workshop all day long and we’re in awe of their ability to fly and the immense amount of freedom that they experience. Day in and day out, we see some many different species in all shapes, sizes and colours, many of which occasionally come to visit us.

​ The team Sophia. favourites are the gorgeous pale-headed crimson rosellas, elegant stone curlews and cheerful wood ducks. It was for this reason that we wanted to create one of our products to represent those beautiful birds while leaving the top end of the basket open to signify that incredible freedom that they hold within their wings. What is your favourite kind of bird and where would you fly to if you had your own wings?
How we create our eco home decor using sustainable and ethical processes

Wondering how our eco home decor is created?

Due to the utilisation of recycled copper wire in our Avery Basket designs, the wire needs to be prepared before we can use it. We do this by stripping and untwisting every strand of wire, and while this is a very time consuming process, we believe that using and old and unusable material is much better than creating new materials, more waste and excessive carbon emissions. The process we use is entirely carbon neutral and here’s how we do it… Once the wire has been prepped, we start with the skeleton of the basket using thicker strands of copper wire and then start using our unique weaving technique in the centre of the basket.

​The weaving is also a very delicate and time consuming process but we take care in ensuring that the patterns within the basket are beautifully flawless. After an average of 6 hours, the entire basket has been brought to life and all that’s left to do is finish the edge of the basket off with another one of our custom weaves. The final step in the process is to perform a quality control check of the basket to ensure it meets our high presentation, durability and strength standards.

Carbon neutral shipping & packaging - From Sophia. to you

Once we’ve received your order for one or more of these sparkling Avery baskets, we carefully package them in recycled materials (we usually use newspaper so that we can keep it out of landfill or recycling centres for another loop of the cycle and because it protects our copper pieces beautifully) The baskets then get placed inside a cardboard box which has also been made from recycled materials and we include a special invitation to join The Sophia. Sisterhood of Sustainability – our very own and beautiful community of women who are passionate about sustainable and ethical living and want to support you!

​Sendle (Australia’s first carbon neutral shipping company) then pick up your order from our Brisbane workshop and deliver it directly to your door while simultaneously offsetting carbon emissions through their partnership with South Pole Group. We then also remove 100 pieces of rubbish from the environment on your behalf and plant one native tree for Australian wildlife for every shipment of products. With each purchase from Sophia. please know that the profits are helping to make a real and positive difference to the environment and community.

About the Collection - Eco Home Decor

Our specialty is handcrafted homewares with a sustainable twist and our copper homewares collection aligns perfectly with our mission to reduce waste and provide beautiful products. 

​Each copper bowl and plate has been created with 100% recycled copper wire and it takes up to 30 hours for one piece to be completed. It's a long process from the stripping of the wire, the untwisting, the re-twisting and then the weaving into the beautiful finished product but we believe that quality homewares come from hard work, attention to detail and quality control.
