Description
Eddi is a rattan storage basket woven in the shape of a dinosaur, with a rounded body, a head that rises at one end and a tail that sweeps out at the other. A row of woven spines runs down its back, a short arm sits on each side and little clawed feet peek out at the base, all picked out in a contrasting weave against the natural rattan, with a small woven eye on each side of the head. It is made of 100% rattan and measures 57cm long, 37cm wide and 48cm tall, so this is a generous floor basket rather than a box for a shelf.
Its place is the floor of a children's room or playroom, where the open top makes it quick to drop in soft toys, dolls, a folded blanket or a quilt at the end of the day. The head rises above the rim like a hood, so whatever sits inside is partly tucked behind it, and there is no lid to lift. At 1KG it is light enough to carry from room to room, and the rounded body stands on the floor without needing a shelf or a stand. It suits any child who loves dinosaurs, and it makes a cheerful gift for a new bedroom as well as a tidy home for a scatter of toys.
The body is woven in close, even rows and finished with a wrapped rim, while the spines, arms, feet and tail are worked in a chunkier weave that gives them texture and shape. Rattan is a light, flexible cane, long used for baskets that are handled every day. Set it beside a bookcase or at the foot of a bed with the head facing into the room, and let a blanket spill over the rim; the styling props shown are not included.

It is made of 100% rattan, woven into the dinosaur's body and into its spines, arms, feet and tail.

No. The top is open, with the dinosaur's head rising at one end like a hood, so toys and blankets go straight in and come straight out.

What can I keep in it?
It suits soft toys, dolls, blankets and quilts in a children's room or playroom, and any other toys that need a home on the floor rather than on a shelf.
