Our Unique Home Decor - Large Avery Basket
We’ve created these baskets because our customers wished for a sustainable and ethical basket design that is both beautiful and lasts forever. This was our creative and beautiful solution…
The inspiration behind our unique home decor...
We believe that it is important for our customers and community to gain a better understanding on how their products are made, where they come from and who makes their products so that conscious decisions can be made about supporting sustainability and ethicality. To help this vision of ours come to life, we share the inspiration, story, creation process and packaging and shipping methods for each product to show the positive impact that each item is making.
The inspiration for our Avery Baskets has come from the birds that surround our rainforest workshop and our frequent encounters with them as well as the immense sense of freedom that they portray.

Unique home decor - The story behind the art...
Our workshop in Brisbane is situated between a luscious rainforest and a flowing creek and so we have a healthy community of birds that live within the forest, in nests above the workshop and beside the creek. The rainbow lorikeets and pale-headed crimson rosellas are the most striking of species and were part of the inspiration behind our handcrafted copper baskets. We chose to name these baskets “Avery” instead of “Aviary” to keep the baskets entirely unique and to showcase that there is always more to the story.
We wanted to express the freedom that birds experience in this piece of art and display it in a way that the “bird cage like” basket has the top open to allow that freedom to occur. No bird should be confined to a cage when they have such beautiful and strong wings to take them anywhere they wish…

Wondering how our unique home decor is created?
We’re proud to say that our Avery Baskets are all crafted with 100% recycled materials. Because of this, each strand of wire needs to be stripped and untwisted before it can be utilised in any of our products. The preparation of the wire is a time consuming and fiddly process but it is so worthwhile to us because we are able to keep excessive waste out of landfill and prevent any excess carbon emissions from being produced due to other recycling methods (metal recyclers have to burn the plastic coating and use extreme amounts of electricity and energy to melt it down and turn it into something new, whereas we keep the wire in its original form and utilise it from there). The weaving process for our larger baskets takes around 10 hours to complete and is done entirely by hand before we use a special braiding process to finish the last part of the basket off. Before we prepare the basket for shipping, we put each and every piece through our quality control test to ensure that they meet our durability, quality and presentation standards.
Carbon neutral shipping & packaging - From Sophia. to you...

LAURA, BRISBANE
Thank you Sophia. for yet another beautiful delivery! It arrived way before I expected, was presented in such a pretty way and I cannot believe how much more beautiful the copper baskets are in person. Fantastic work! |
A NOTE FROM SOPHIA.
The large Avery Baskets are the most popular size due to them being more versatile and holding more volume than the other two. We know that you’re going to fall head over heels for this handcrafted basket! |
GEORGIA, SYDNEY
What can I say other than I am completely in love with my set of copper baskets. I’m so glad I made the decision to order the three different sizes because they go together beautifully. I will be back soon to buy more… |

About the Collection - Unique 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.
