Natural Seagrass Baskets, Set of 2

• The seagrass has a dry, tactile look that sits easily with wood, linen, ceramics and greenery.
• The shallow round form keeps contents visible, so it works well for things you reach for often.
• The natural tone adds softness without feeling decorative for decoration’s sake.
• Used together, the two sizes create a simple rhythm on open shelving or a work surface.
• The weave gives practical storage a quieter presence than plastic or metal.

These baskets are hand-woven from seagrass in Indonesia, with a natural finish that shows the character of the fibre. The weave may vary slightly from piece to piece, which is part of the appeal of a made-by-hand object.

Place one near the door for keys and small essentials, or use the pair to gather dry items on a dressing table, studio shelf or yoga space. They also sit well beside plants and woven textiles, adding an easy natural layer without making the room feel busy.

Basket weaving in Java sits within a long tradition of making useful household objects from locally available plant fibres. Seagrass is valued for its firm, textured hand and its relaxed, organic look. In the home, pieces like these carry that practical origin lightly: they are everyday storage, but with the small irregularities and warmth that come from human hands rather than moulded production.

Use these baskets indoors for dry storage. Keep seagrass away from prolonged damp, and dust with a soft dry cloth or brush. If using near a plant, keep the plant in its own waterproof pot or saucer and remove it before watering.

• Set of two hand-woven seagrass baskets.
• Large basket: 23 cm diameter, 9 cm high, 370 g.
• Medium basket: 20 cm diameter, 7 cm high, 290 g.
• Made in Indonesia.

A gentle choice for someone setting up a new home, refreshing a shelf, or bringing more natural texture into a workspace. The pair feels useful straight away, but still considered enough to give as a housewarming or birthday present.
