Our Australian Made Dinnerware - Small Honeycomb Plates
Bigger doesn’t always mean better and our small Honeycomb Plates are proving that point wonderfully! There are so many beautiful ways that you can use these creatively crafted beauties and we know you’re going to love using them throughout your home…
The inspiration behind our Australian made dinnerware...
Inspiration can be found in all sorts of places and just as the name suggests, our Honeycomb Plates were inspired by the honeycomb that is created by very small but powerful bees. These little creatures inspire us in many different ways but the fact that we have to rely on them to pollinate plants which we rely on for food, oxygen and survival make us love them even more!
We’ve created this plate in a hexagonal shape to pay tribute to the hard work that bees do for us and we were also inspired by our previously created Avery Basket collection to use the same weaving pattern. We love how and why these plates have been created and we hope you do too!

Our Australian made dinnerware - The story behind the art...
Across the creek from our rainforest based workshop, there are dozens of hives abuzz with both native and European bees and we frequently peer out the window to see them flying a million miles an hour with their pollen collection. You may already know but our world bee population is in rapid decline and is under serious threat due to climate change, deforestation and pollution – all of which have been created by humans.
If we managed to put the bee population under threat in the first place, then we can definitely implement change to make sure our impact is reversed. If you’re interested in helping to save the bees, the best things you can do is to fill your garden with flowering plants and native trees and make a conscious decision to reduce your impact on the planet overall. You can make this happen by doing things such as reducing your plastic consumption, driving less and walking more, stop using disposable items, and choosing items that have been sustainably and ethically created.

Wondering how our Australian made dinnerware is created?
Before we can begin creating your very special and sparkling Honeycomb Plate, we first have to prepare our 100% recycled copper wire. We do this by stripping and untwisting each individual strand of wire and then set them aside in our workshop until someone like you comes along to purchase one. All of our copper homeware pieces are made-to-order so we save the copper wire until it actually needs to be used and this also ensures that you are receiving a quality product that has been made especially for you, every time.
We use two different thicknesses of copper wire for our plates to create maximum strength across the surface and use the thicker wire as our skeleton whereas the thinner wire is utilised for the actual weaving process. In total, the plates take about 5 hours to complete before we check them over and ensure that they meet our high quality standards.

About the Collection - Australian Made Dinnerware
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.
