Lorna Bailey, Founder of The Mill Fabrics, was heavily inspired by the visual language of the 1960s, leaning on the influential essence of Audrey Hepburn and renowned Mary Quant style. Combining her vision with Johan’s talent made fashion of the fabric, with Johan creating an interpretation of the trademark Quant shift dress.

CocoMosaic tiles are hand cut shells into perfectly sized squares, which are then bonded into larger tiles. Made on location in Indonesia, the tiles have been exported to America and Europe and are now available locally exclusively through Panda Bamboo.

The coconut shells used are either collected by local people or are obtained as the waste products from the processing of coconut flesh and milk. The products are eco-friendly and made from natural materials that would otherwise be discarded. Only water-based, low emission glues, lacquers and paints are used in manufacturing the CocoMosaic products.

Various colours and finishes are available, always with an end result that is stylish, richly textured, warm and interesting.

The tiles can be attached to any firm surface using silicone glue or other tile adhesives, they are easily cut to size and shape using a small angle grinder or jigsaw.

The CocoMosaic tiles have an interesting texture and a warm, natural and sophisticated look, making them ideal for accenting a feature wall. Although primarily used for wall cladding, the tiles also have applications in ceilings, furniture and even flooring.

In addition to the coconut shell mosaic tiles, the company also produces mosaic tiles from mahogany tree bark (a waste product from the timber industry), and tiles from reclaimed timber.

This innovative repurposing of former waste products into desirable décor items has been highly successful in creating employment and generating an income for hundreds of people in Indonesia. In fact, CocoMosaic has won presidential awards in Indonesia for job creation and export.

These products as well as the bamboo products Panda Bamboo is so well known for are available exclusively from the company.
