Turns Out, Sustainable Design Can Be Chic, and Net-a-Porter's 'Net Sustain' Curation Is Proof — Here's What I'm Shopping
Net Sustain features products from Mud Australia — a homeware brand that is not only design-oriented, but eco-focused, too


Often times, desirable styles and sustainable designs don't walk hand-in-hand. You either get one, or the other. But, Net-a-Porter's Net Sustain curation proves they don't have to be mutually exclusive. Sustainable products can look good in your home while doing good for the planet, too.
The curation features products that meet at least one of Net-a-Porter's sustainability criteria, which includes: being made with lower-impact materials, adhering to responsible craftsmanship regulations, or being designed for circularity.
While scrolling through, one of the standout brands was undoubtedly MUD Australia, a climate-neutral homewares brand that's committed to environmental sustainability, while honoring traditional craftsmanship — and making ridiculously beautiful homewares while they're at it.
Its pieces are crafted with the intention of reducing environmental impact and encouraging community amongst artisans. They also have a number of initiatives to reduce and reuse waste, and are committed to small-scale production.
Each item of its servingware and dinnerware sets is made from porcelain, and although they may look dainty and delicate, they're surprisingly durable — you can even put their platters, plates, and bowls straight in the oven and microwave (and dishwasher), meaning although they require an initial investment, you can use them for everything.
Coming in a range of beautiful pastel shades and bold poppy colors, with a textured finish on the outside, and glossy glaze on the inside, these are the perfect design-lover gift for all occasions. Below, I've shared six pieces I've got my eye on.
Looking for a sleek bowl to elevate the look of your kitchen counter? Here it is. This gorgeous bowl is made with slate-colored porcelain, which is one of Mud Australia's premium colors. It's simple, classic, and elegant — the perfect piece of minimalist decor. Use it to hold fresh fruit, a salad, or style it as an entryway catchall.
Decorating with flowers can truly make your home come to life, so it's important to find the right vase to hold your bouquet. This unique oval-shaped style is handmade from porcelain clay and finished with a clear glaze. For an effortlessly elegant and ultra-minimalist look, consider placing only one flower in this vase to lean against the edge.
Bring a sense of calm and peace to your morning coffee ritual with these mugs. This set of two is made from porcelain clay and features a stone-like finish. The smooth, glazed interior elegantly contrasts the exterior texture of these mugs. They'd be a perfect addition to your modern coffee nook.
Sometimes, the best dinnerware sets are the simplest. This set of four salad plates demonstrates that. Each of these plates is sleek and elegant — they are handmade in Mud Australia's Sydney studio and feature a glossy finish for some extra shine against their muted beige color. Complete the set with some matching dinner plates.
Although this platter was designed to serve a medium-sized fish, it can do so much more. I'd leave this out on my dining table to act as a table centerpiece, but you could also use it as a fruit dish or even as a perfume tray for your bedroom dresser.
If you're in need of some chic bowls for your kitchen, this set is for you. Aside from their elegant color and minimalist look, these bowls are perfectly sized for salads, soups, or pastas. And because of their durable material, these bowls are ideal for oven-to-table serving.
Net-a-Porter's Net Sustain curation will certainly help you make informed decisions when purchasing home decor.
