Marble at the new Allegra Stone homewares range

Meet Allegra Stone, the new minimalist marble homewares range with a dash of luxurious allure.

11838894_1037531279625306_7067265730905786397_oHandcrafted from Italian Carrara Marble, this young label was created by Leonie Psillis and Anita Zappia from a desire to create one-of-a-kind marble pieces that were accessible to all.

11952823_816714855116346_633705104697295771_o“We love how our marble pieces allow us to romanticise the simplest things we use in our homes,” said Leonie. “Inspired by the female form; the curves, power and strength yet delicateness and sexiness of a woman is ultimately what sets off our vibe.”

12015203_1037531236291977_7385966266298185408_oThese keepsakes from Allegra Stone will act as the hero piece of every room and tabletop they grace — the collection features vessels, vases, trinket boxes, trivets and trays, from $50 to $990.

I love agate coasters. I bought mine from one of those gorgeous country town markets ages ago. And I lust after the Jonathan Adler gilt-edged versions on a regular basis. Now Zakkia is stocking them (sans gold) at a very reasonable $8.90 each.
