Description
This woven seagrass basket is shaped like a mushroom: a stem that swells gently towards its base, topped by a domed brown cap scattered with spots, and that cap is the lid. Lift the cap and the whole stem is open storage. It stands 61cm tall and measures 43cm across, so it is a floor piece rather than something for a shelf. Its materials are seagrass, rattan and iron, and it weighs 2.5KG, so moving it from one room to another is easy work.
It belongs in a nursery, a child's bedroom or a playroom, where it does two jobs at once. Soft toys, building blocks, dressing-up clothes and spare blankets all go into the stem, and once the cap is back in place the clutter disappears and a toadstool stands in its stead. Because it is a woodland shape rather than a plain box, it suits a room with a forest, fairy-tale or nature theme. It sits just as happily beside a play tent in the corner of a living room, where toys tend to gather by the end of the day, and children are often keener to tidy when the basket looks like part of the game.
Both pieces are woven: the stem shows the chunky, textured weave of seagrass, and the domed cap is woven too, dotted with its spots. Seagrass is a plant fibre, so the basket keeps its texture best in a dry room, and a soft brush lifts dust from the weave. For styling, set it on a striped or woven rug in a pale room, where the brown cap catches the eye, or group it with other woven pieces for a calm, textured corner that children will want to use.

Frequently Asked
What is the basket's material?
Its materials are seagrass, rattan and iron. Both the seagrass stem and the domed, spotted brown cap are woven, so it has a soft, textured look.
How big is the mushroom basket?
It stands 61cm tall and measures 43cm across, so it is a floor-standing basket for a nursery, bedroom or playroom rather than a shelf.
Does it have a lid?
Yes. The mushroom cap is the lid: it lifts clear of the stem, and the stem itself is the open storage basket.
What can I keep in it?
It is made as storage for children's rooms, so soft toys, building blocks, dressing-up clothes and spare blankets all suit it well.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 2.5KG, so an adult can carry it easily between the nursery, the playroom and the living room whenever needed.
