It all started with a fascination with just how pretty marble is. Sisters Bliss and Bonnie Adams then turned that adoration into a creative pursuit, by transforming everyday objects into marble-ised showpieces for their brand, Marble Basics.

Crafting things such as trivets, trays, cardholders, planters and sugar bowls from 100 percent marble, the sisters bring a new level of sophistication to conventional homewares, with the hope of making them something that will be treasured for years to come. The use of modern silhouettes and geometric shapes ensure that the objects are anything but boring.

For those eager to get their hands on some of the Marble Basics collection (be warned, if you’re planning to buy them as gifts, you’re likely to keep them for yourself), you can find them locally at Abode and Bod, AP Design House, Botanical Grace, Kova and New Farm Editions.
