The Coast Palette
This collection started with the view from the workshop. Granite, lichen, sea spray, the white of a breaking wave. Six colours that sit together the way they do on the path above Chapel Porth: quietly, without any one pulling focus. Coast is the most restrained range we make, and that restraint is the point. These are bouquets for rooms where calm matters more than colour.
The poms are made from 100% New Zealand wool, hand-finished in our Cornwall workshop on wire stems wrapped in 100% biodegradable jute twine. No plastic in the product or the packaging. The cool, muted tones hold well over time because wool resists fading in normal indoor light. Keep them out of prolonged direct sun and they will look right for years.
Choosing Your Coast Bouquet
Smaller Arrangements: The Trio and The Bunch
The Trio gives you three stems (two Grande Poms at 6cm, one Pop Pom at 5cm). In Coast colours, it works particularly well on a windowsill, a bathroom shelf (as long as it stays dry), or a bedside table where you want something understated. It is also the most popular gift option at £24.
The Bunch steps up to six stems, mixing Grande and Pop sizes. Enough to fill a small vase on a mantelpiece or a console table without overwhelming the space. At £42, it strikes the balance between presence and subtlety that the Coast palette does best.
Fuller Arrangements: The Bouquet, The Grande Bouquet, and The Statement
The Bouquet (10 Pop Poms, £62) gives a tighter, more textured look. The Grande Bouquet (10 Grande Poms at 6cm, £68) reads fuller and softer. In Coast colours, the Grande is particularly good on a dining table or kitchen island where the muted tones pick up natural light.
The Statement brings twenty stems together: ten Grande, ten Pop. At £125, it is designed to anchor a larger space. A hallway, a living room side table, or anywhere you want one arrangement to set the tone for the room.
Building Your Own Coast Arrangement
If the pre-made bouquets are not quite what you need, individual colour sets (five Grande Poms or five Pop Poms in a single Coast shade) let you mix specific tones and stem counts. Combine the palest grey with the slate blue, or pair the chalk white with a handful of lichen green from the Sea Glass range. The jute-wrapped wire stems bend to fit any vase, so you can adjust the height and spread as you go.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Coast Collection
How long do Coast bouquets last?
Protea Poms are crafted from 100% New Zealand wool and designed to last for years with minimal care. Unlike cut flowers, they won't wilt, drop petals, or need replacing, making them an exceptional long-term investment for your home.
Are Coast bouquets suitable for people with allergies?
Yes. Our poms are made from naturally hypoallergenic New Zealand wool, making them a beautiful option for those who can't have fresh flowers or synthetic alternatives in the home.
Will the colours fade over time?
Wool holds dye well in normal indoor conditions. Keep your bouquet out of prolonged direct sunlight and the Coast colours will stay true for years. If a room gets strong afternoon sun, place the vase where it catches ambient light rather than a direct beam.
How do I care for my Coast bouquet?
To keep your poms looking their best, gently shake or use a soft brush or cool hairdryer setting to remove dust. Keep them out of prolonged direct sunlight and away from humid environments like bathrooms. If storing, wrap loosely in tissue paper. The jute stems can be gently reshaped to suit any vase.
Can I mix Coast colours with other collections?
You can. Individual colour sets let you pull specific shades from Coast and pair them with tones from Sea Glass, Sea Pink, or any other collection. The wire stems are the same across the whole range, so everything sits together in a single vase.
