Description
This is a pair of round baskets in braided water hyacinth, sold together as a set of two and natural in colour. The larger basket is 37cm across and 36cm tall, and the smaller is 26cm across and 26cm tall, so one works as a floor basket while the other sits easily on a shelf or table. Both share the same shape: a full, rounded body that narrows to a short, upright neck, with two braided loop handles rising from the rim. They are made of water hyacinth and iron, and the thick, twisted cord gives each basket a deep, chunky texture.
The larger basket suits the floor beside a sofa or at the foot of a bed, holding folded throws, spare cushions, children's toys or a stack of magazines. The smaller one is better for the odds and ends that collect around a room: chargers, balls of yarn, hair accessories or remote controls. Because they share a weave and a shape, the two look deliberate together on a console table, a bench or a deep shelf, rather than like two baskets picked up on different days. The handles make each easy to lift and carry from room to room, which matters when a basket of toys needs clearing at the end of the day.
Water hyacinth is the dried stem of a water plant, twisted into a cord and then braided, which gives the surface its ridged, rope-like feel. As a plant fibre it varies a little in thickness from stem to stem, and a braided weave shows those small differences rather than hiding them. Each basket is open at the top, so whatever it holds stays in easy reach. To style the pair, stand the larger basket on the floor and lift the smaller onto a table or shelf nearby, so the same shape repeats at two heights. The styling props shown are not included.
