Coles and Artist Lani Blazan Partner on a Homeware Range
Kanesa D — July 1, 2025 — Social Good
Coles Supermarkets has announced the launch of a special limited-edition homewares range created in collaboration with renowned Wiradjuri artist Lani Balzan, available in stores across Australia from June 25 to July 22 in honour of NAIDOC Week. The exclusive ‘Coming Together’ collection features Balzan’s vibrant, original artwork inspired by themes of unity, culture, and reconciliation.
For every item sold, 50 cents will be donated to Purple House, an Indigenous-owned health organisation based in Alice Springs that provides life-saving dialysis treatment to remote Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory, South Australia, and Western Australia. Coles will further amplify this support by matching all customer donations made during the campaign.
"This homewares range is an impactful way for our customers to contribute to a vital cause while supporting an incredible First Nations artist, and by matching donations dollar for dollar, we're amplifying the positive impact we can have in remote Indigenous communities," said Coles Group Corporate & Indigenous Affairs Officer Sally Fielke.
