Description
These are two seagrass baskets sold together as a set of 2, one 38cm across and 38cm tall and the other 47cm across and 44cm tall. Both are woven in 100% seagrass, with a black pattern that runs round the body in fine zigzag stripes, broken by two bands of small cross motifs. A plain woven band finishes each rim, and the sides are softly rounded, curving in towards the base, so the pair reads as relaxed and soft rather than boxy. They are proper storage baskets, sized for the floor rather than a shelf.
The larger basket takes a folded throw, a spare blanket or a pile of cushions beside the sofa, and the smaller one suits magazines, toys or slippers by the bed or the front door. Because they come as two different sizes, they look good side by side in the corner of a living room, or split between a bedroom and a hallway. In a nursery or playroom the pair makes tidying away soft toys quick at the end of the day. The black pattern gives them definition without shouting, so they sit as comfortably in a pared-back room as in a warmer, layered one.
Each basket is woven all the way round, with no handles, and the walls have the gentle give of woven grass rather than the stiffness of a box. Seagrass is a natural plant fibre, and the rims are slightly uneven, as woven grass tends to be, which adds to the easy, informal look. Inside, the weave continues in black, so the baskets look neat even when half empty. For a simple arrangement, set the pair together on a wooden floor or a plain rug, with the larger one at the back, and let a knitted throw fall over the edge of one.

Both baskets are woven in 100% seagrass, with a black pattern of fine zigzag stripes and two bands of small cross motifs running round the body.
How big are the two baskets?
The smaller basket is 38cm across and 38cm tall, and the larger one is 47cm across and 44cm tall, so both are sized as floor baskets rather than shelf baskets.
What is included?
You receive both baskets, as they are sold together as a set of 2 in two different sizes. The styling props shown are not included.
Do the baskets have handles?
No. Each basket is woven all the way round with a plain band at the rim and no handles, so you lift it by the rim or by the base.
