How to present a coco de mer?
Discover our custom-made bases for this unusual object.
Create a custom base for this Seychelles emblem
The sea coconut or coco de mer is a fascinating object. Contrary to what one might think, it is not a nut, but the largest seed in the plant kingdom, that of the sea coconut tree. The sea coconut is specific to the island of Praslin, making it the emblem of the Seychelles.
Poached for its supposed aphrodisiac virtues or for its original appearance, it is now forbidden to bring it back from travels in order to prevent its disappearance.
The trade in coconut butt is now regulated, a light green stamp affixed to it attests to its controlled origin.
Moreover, some of them are sometimes sold at auction, raw, carved or polished, in major auction houses such as Drouot, Christie's, Artcurial or Bonhams.
The coco fesse is a large and heavy object with irregular shapes. It always requires a custom base.
Its height generally varies between 20 and 40 cm. Its weight and rarity also justify creating a custom-made support for them. The custom-made base must be both solid and discreet for a successful display.

Examples of custom-made steel supports for coco-fesse
Whether for the polished coconut butt or the raw sea coconut below, we have created custom steel supports.
What do they have in common?
A straight center axle and a matte black painted finish.
Their particularities?
The first one is based on a central element in the lower part (more suited to small and medium formats), the second one is supported from below by metal elements. This type of custom support allows the presentation of heavy and large objects.
Example of a custom-made brass display stand
The custom-made brass base is recognizable from other bases by its curved foot and its multiple finishing possibilities.
The patina can be tinted and varnished, speckled, golden in appearance, etc. This material is also more malleable and we offer an original chrome finish for an even more luxurious look.

The coconut is a popular and local craft and art. It can be transformed into sculptures, boxes, dishes, and bowls, which represents an additional challenge when creating the base.
The custom-made brass base allows for adapting to these specific curves. This custom-made support allows the box to be presented open or closed.
