Coco Flip

Coco Flip is a Melbourne-based furniture and lighting design studio, run by Kate Stokes and Haslett Grounds. They work closely with local craftspeople and manufacturers to create playful products with depth of character.

Who is Coco Flip?

Coco Flip produces character-rich furniture and lighting, in Naarm (Melbourne), for design conscious homes worldwide. Founded in 2010 by Kate Stokes and Haslett Grounds, the studio is inspired by ideas, relationships and materiality. Their designs imbue commercial and residential spaces with personality and warmth. Each distinctive piece is manufactured locally by a collective of skilled craftspeople.

What are they known for?

Each Coco Flip piece is designed sustainably, one at a time, and then produced in limited quantities. Starting from a place of curiosity, each piece begins with a seemingly simple thought or idea. Whether it’s working with a unique material or trying to imbue a specific personality into furniture, Kate and Haslett enjoy working thoughtfully through the inevitable challenges that come with producing true quality.

Why do we love them?

As part of a community that wants to mitigate the purchase and consumption of easily disregarded pieces, Coco Flip’s reputation has influenced a bigger movement, one that allows consumers to experience living differently by enjoying only a few well made things that last a lifetime.
