The Art of Nesting

At its heart is a simple belief: the best homes are filled with things we love, use and keep for years.

Inspired by modern Australian living, Nest & Bird is a Mornington Peninsula-based online destination for handpicked homewares and unique gifts from Australian brands and independent makers. The collection is built around pieces with character, quality and a genuine sense of place.

This spring, that philosophy has inspired Nest & Bird’s first signature product, born from a problem in creative director Heidi Evans’ own living room.

“I had a sofa I loved and wanted to protect from everyday family life,” Heidi says. “I tried different throws, but they constantly slipped, bunched up and ended up on the floor.

“Then I discovered the sofa topper: a soft, quilted layer that adds comfort while protecting the upholstery underneath. I immediately wanted one but couldn’t find what I was looking for in Australia. So, after months of research, sampling and refining, I created my own.”

Made from French flax linen with a soft, plump quilted fill, the Nest & Bird Sofa Topper protects against kids, pets, crumbs, spills and everyday wear, and can simply be removed and washed when life happens. It’s practical enough for a busy family home, but beautiful enough to leave out every day.

Pre-orders for the $299 Sofa Topper are open now and include complimentary shipping and a Red Hill Candle Co. linen spray as a gift.
