Introducing Marovo Fossil Stone Lighting
EXQUISITE TIMELESS BEAUTY
Immerse yourself into a world where time and beauty intertwine. Forget predictable fixtures and sterile glass. Imagine stepping into a hidden paradise, where nature's artistry unveils itself in breathtaking textures and whispers of a forgotten age. This is the creation of Marovo Island Traders, who have transformed a natural stone sculpted by time and tide into captivating lighting unlike anything you have seen before...
Fossil Coral
Fossil coral is the preserved remains of ancient reefs and organisms from the Marovo Lagoon in the Solomon Islands. Its agate composition has transformed into a robust, captivating wonder. Thousands of years of natural imprints have etched the surface with intricate patterns, making each piece unique. That’s the magic we discovered at Marovo Island Traders in Newrybar, where fossil coral isn’t just a testament to the past—it’s a breathtaking lighting collection.
"Each stone is meticulously chosen from the land by an exceptional team of local carvers and artisans, who possess a profound respect for the environment. Guided by their skilled hands, these stones undergo a metamorphosis into individual pieces of art. The expressions of sacred geometry are never the same... and the natural imperfections evoke timeless, rare antiquity”
Matt Woodfield, Arist/Founder
Timeless Designs
Founder/Artist Matt possesses a rare gift: the ability to see the design potential within this remarkable natural stone. He envisions how this potential can be masterfully crafted by the world-class artisans of the Marovo Lagoon, carving pathways toward a sustainable future. Together with his creative partner Amy, they seamlessly bridge creativity from the past with forward-thinking design, creating a blend of tradition and innovation.
Through their design influence, the Fossil Coral awakens. It becomes a wall sconce that casts organic elegance in a minimalist space, a cluster of pendants that boldly enhances living areas, or a statement lamp that completes an ambient sanctuary. At Lighting Collective, we are honoured to partner with local artisans who highly value quality designs, fair trade and mindful manufacturing.
“One such standout element is the lighting objects found throughout the hotel, designed by Marovo Island Traders (Matthew Woodfield) and crafted from Fossil Coral found on his home in the Solomon Islands."

Dark timber interiors exude a timeless elegance, though their richness can sometimes feel overwhelming. The key to creating a balanced and inviting space lies in the intentional use of organic lighting. Embracing the symphony of light & shadow.
