Natural Seagrass Baskets, Set of 2

Natural seagrass storage baskets bring warmth to the small acts of tidying, turning loose everyday things into a calmer, more intentional display. Use the pair on a shelf, desk or low table for dry items you like to keep close, where the woven texture softens harder lines around the room.

What the woven texture brings

• 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.

Seagrass, shaped by hand

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.

For shelves, desks and quiet corners

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.

Craft rooted in Java

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.

Keeping the fibre looking good

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.

A thoughtful home gift

Common questions

Can I use them as plant baskets?
Yes, as decorative outer baskets for indoor plants, provided the plant stays in a waterproof pot or saucer. Seagrass should be kept dry.

Will both baskets look exactly the same?
No. Because they are hand-woven from natural seagrass, small differences in weave, tone and shape are normal.
