Coastal Summer Vibes: The Complete Guide to Sunsum® Gypsum Coastal Collection

The coastal aesthetic is not about proximity to water. It is about a quality of light and air and texture — the particular combination of white and pale blue and natural materials that suggests open space and unhurried time. You can have it in a landlocked apartment in Denver. You can have it on the thirtieth floor of a building in Chicago. The materials are what carry it.

The Sunsum® Coastal Collection is five gypsum pieces that form the foundation of a complete coastal home environment.

The Five Pieces

Starfish Catchall Tray (X400) — 4 inches. The smallest piece in the collection and the most versatile as an everyday catchall. Rings, earrings, hair pins, keys near the door — the starfish tray holds the small things of a summer life without demanding display space. Best near a sink or on a nightstand.

Sea Turtle Tray (X420) — 9 inches. The anchor piece of the collection. The largest, most detailed, most visually dramatic of the five. The sea turtle relief is cast from a sculpted original — every detail present and sharp. This is the piece that earns the comment every guest makes when they see it.

Conch Shell Bowl (X460) — 6 inches. A vessel that reads differently depending on how you fill it. With beach glass: a coastal memory jar. With crystals: a ritual object. With a single large flower: a sculptural statement. With nothing: a form beautiful enough to stand alone.

Nautilus Shell Bowl (X470) — 6.5 inches. The golden-ratio shell form. Perfect mathematical spiral made in gypsum white. The piece that appeals most to buyers with a modern or design-forward aesthetic who want nature without sentiment.

Mini Clam Shell Planter (X480) — 3 inches. A planter — the only one in the coastal collection. A tiny succulent, an air plant, a small cactus. The windowsill piece that turns a collection of trays into a living environment.
