Bringing together the skills of timber crafter Charles Sanford, glass artist Amanda Dziedzic, and Bendigo Pottery, Coco Flip’s new Honey collection is a celebration of Australian artisanship. ‘We see each component in the collection as a little artwork of its own,’ says Kate Stokes, founder of Coco Flip, of the timber, glass and ceramic elements of the fixtures, ‘together they form a functioning light with a beautifully soft, ambient glow.’

A pendant light, table lamp, and wall sconce make up this sculptural lighting collection, taking its cues from the shape of a honey dipper and ‘the fluidity and viscosity of honey itself,’ explains Kate. A nod to Art Deco sensibilities is reflected in the contours and geometry, adding a sense of nostalgia to the contemporary silhouettes.

Comprised of a slip cast ceramic (offered raw or in a range of glazes) or American white oak in Japan black or Nordic white (paired with white or pink hand blown glass), Honey is a true collaborative feat. ‘We so often don’t think about how things are made or by whom,’ Kate says. ‘Honey is a celebration of Melbourne’s local artisans and the materials and processes they work with.’
