We don't carry a piece because it has a good story. We carry it because the material stopped us, the making is honest, and it sits well alongside everything else on the site. If it also has a good story — and it usually does — that's a bonus, not the reason. Most of what we stock comes from small makers, craft enterprises and family workshops. People whose work traces back to a specific set of hands, a material source, and a reason for making it the way they do. Her Hands Her Hands is a Melbourne-based lighting brand founded by Sarré Guille. The pendants we carry are from the Coffee Collection — made in small batches by women artisans in Southern Africa using recycled coffee grounds and waste magazine pulp. Each shade is hand-formed by one artisan. It takes up to seven days. The coffee grounds get worked into the pulp during production, and what you end up with is a surface that's soft and matte — closer to ceramic than paper. A light eco-friendly varnish seals it, so they're fine in kitchens and bathrooms. The women who make these have permanent contracts, fair trade employment, and earn well above the minimum wage in their country. That's not something we've dressed up for marketing — it's the operating model. We carry four pieces from the Coffee Collection — cone and ripple silhouettes, from bedside scale through to full dining-room statement. Shop the Coffee Collection We carry another collection where the makers are all women and have been supported since 2009.  Everything is handmade using traditional techniques — hand-forged iron, hammered glass, natural materials shaped by hand rather than fed through a machine.  The pieces we carry are the functional ones: iron candlestands in brass and black finishes with visible hammer marks, and hammered glassware in smoke and blush. Each one has the small imperfections that tell you a person made it. That's the point — not a flaw, a feature. These are our cart builders. The $48 to $160 pieces that someone adds to an order because the texture caught their eye and the price doesn't need a conversation with anyone else. Shop decor What connects them The makers we work with don't share a single aesthetic. What they share is an approach — small-batch production, fair employment, traditional techniques used to make things for contemporary homes, materials that are natural or recycled or both. We're drawn to businesses where the craft is the enterprise. Where making the thing is what provides the employment, preserves the skill, and produces something you'd actually want in your house. Not because it comes with a feel-good label, but because the object itself holds up. If it didn't, the story wouldn't save it. Not everything on the site comes from a maker's workshop. Some of our suppliers are established Australian wholesalers with warehouses and printed catalogues, and we choose those pieces on merit too. But the maker-led pieces are where Coastalis started, and they're the ones we keep building around. Browse all collections

  We're particular about who we work with. Not every maker or product fits, and that's the idea of curation. When we came across Her Hands, it was the material that stopped us first — and then the story behind it.  So much so we felt it was important that we shared this brand and their story which we have never done before. Her Hands is a Melbourne-based lighting brand founded by Sarré Guille. The pendants we carry are part of her Coffee Collection — made in small batches by a team of women artisans in Southern Africa using recycled coffee grounds and waste magazine pulp. The process is slow and deliberate. Each shade is hand-formed by a single artisan and takes up to seven days to complete. Waste coffee grounds are worked into the pulp during production, giving the surface a soft, matte texture that feels closer to ceramic than paper. A light eco-friendly varnish seals the finish, making them suitable for kitchens and bathrooms. The tone is hard to pin down in a name — it's a soft, warm neutral that reads differently depending on the light. Not quite sand, not quite clay. It sits easily with timber, stone and linen, which is why it works so well alongside the pieces we already carry. What matters to us about this partnership goes beyond the product. The women who make these pendants have permanent contracts, fair trade employment and earn well above the minimum wage in their country. That's not a marketing line — it's the operating model.  Sarré built Her Hands specifically to create meaningful, long-term work for women artisans, and the business runs on that principle.  A future goal and inspiration for Coastalis. We carry four pieces from the Coffee Collection: the Cone in large and medium, and the Ripple in large and small. The Cone is a classic pendant shape with real presence — the large holds its own over a dining table or kitchen island, the medium is right-sized for bedside or a bathroom. The Ripple is wider and lower-profile with a gently sculpted edge that brings movement and softness — the large works over dining tables and in rooms with lower ceilings, the small is made for reading nooks and intimate corners. Every piece arrives ready to install with a white ceiling rose, 1.8m linen cable and electrical fitting included. These are handmade in small batches. Stock is limited, and when it's gone, there's a wait for the next shipment. If you're building or renovating and working to a timeline, get in early.Shop the Her Hands Coffee Collection

Three textures in one room. That's the whole trick. This bedroom works because nothing matches — and that's the point. A handwoven BaTonga pendant overhead. The Nala timber mirror leaning against the wall. A reclaimed elm console with raw grain you can actually feel. Each piece brings a different material, a different weight, a different story. Together, they make a coastal bedroom feel collected rather than decorated. The pieces BaTonga Woven PendantHandwoven from natural fibres with a two-tone wrap detail. Throws warm, diffused light that softens the whole room. This is the piece that makes people look up when they walk in.Shop the BaTonga Pendant  Nala Wall MirrorChunky timber frame with a raw, block-cut edge. Leans or hangs. The kind of mirror that anchors a wall without needing anything around it.Shop the Nala Mirror  Reclaimed Elm ConsoleEvery piece has different grain, different knots, different character. That's what you get with reclaimed timber — nothing is replicated. Use it as a bedroom console, an entryway table, or a living room surface.Shop Console Tables  The styling rule Pick three materials that are genuinely different from each other. Wood, woven, linen. Stone, ceramic, timber. It doesn't matter which three — what matters is the contrast. If everything in your room feels the same, it reads as flat. If the textures fight each other just a little, it reads as considered. This room uses warm elm, dark woven rattan, and soft linen bedding. Three materials. That's it. That's the whole trick.
