Our Pretty Boho Dinnerware - Medium Honeycomb Plate
Not only are you going to love how luxurious these handcrafted plates feel, but you’re also going to adore the fact that they’ve been crafted from 100% recycled materials and are playing an active part in giving back to the environment and community!
The inspiration behind our pretty boho dinnerware...
These intricately designed and sparkle filled plates have been inspired by the gorgeous and glowing honeycomb that is created by bees. Don’t you find it so fascinating that such tiny creatures can create something so pretty and so complex? Most people probably couldn’t even draw a perfect hexagon with the use of a ruler and yet these incredible bees can build hexagonal honeycomb structures over and over again with the utmost perfection.
You can probably now see why we inspired by something so small to create our Honeycomb Plates. Not only did the honeycomb play a part in the creation of these plates, but we also drew inspiration from our previously created Avery Baskets and decided to utilise that unique weaving technique in an entirely different way…

Our Boho Dinnerware - The story behind the art
It's becoming more and more of a well-known fact that our world bee population is under threat and while we’re in awe of the way they create honeycomb, it’s definitely not the reason that we need to help save them. Bees are responsible for pollinating 90% of our plants and trees, meaning that they are also responsible for providing humans and animals with the food we eat and the air we breathe.
Due to habitat loss, climate change and pollution, the bee population is in rapid decline and they need our help. You can help by planting flowers and trees in your garden and by making conscious decisions to implement lifestyle changes that will directly help to tackle climate change and pollution.

Wondering how our pretty boho dinnerware is created?
As you may already know, all of our copper homeware creations are made to order, so that you’re receiving a special product that has been designed just for you. We prepare all our recycled copper wire ahead of time though to make sure that we can create your honeycomb plate as soon as possible and deliver it to you entirely carbon neutral. The preparation process involves stripping and untwisting every individual strand of wire and you’d be surprised how much is actually needed for an individual plate.
The Honeycomb Plate is started off by creating a skeleton with our thicker selection of wire to ensure that it is strong and durable and then we use a thinner strand of wire to begin our weaving from the centre, towards the outside. For our medium sized plates, the weaving takes about 6 hours and then we finish it off with a beautiful braided edge before checking the plate over for any less-than-perfect sections. These are then rectified (if any are found) before getting the plate ready to ship.

About the Collection - Pretty Boho 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.
