Description
Lill is a woven storage basket with a lid, shaped as a smiling face with its hair gathered into two bunches. The hair and the lid are woven in brown, while the face is worked in a lighter weave with painted eyes, cheeks and a gentle smile, and each bunch is tied with a wrapped band at the side. It is made from Bankuan grass, wicker and iron, and it measures 62cm long, 40.5cm wide and 44cm tall: a generous size that swallows a proper armful of toys rather than just a handful of odds and ends.
We see it most at home in a child's bedroom or playroom, where it gives soft toys, building blocks and dressing-up clothes a place to go at the end of the day. The lid sits on top as the crown of the head, so once everything is inside, the floor looks clear and the room keeps a friendly face rather than a stack of plastic tubs. At 1.5KG it is light enough to carry from the bedroom to the living room when the toys travel too, and it sits comfortably at the end of a bed, beside a reading chair or next to a toy shelf.
The body and the lid are woven from grass and wicker, and a slim iron frame runs around the inside of the lid, which lifts to open the whole top of the basket for filling. The two bunches stand out at either side, so it has as much character in profile as from the front. Woven grass is a natural fibre, so small variations in the weave and its tone are part of what makes each basket its own. Set it with the face turned towards the room, so it greets every visitor and makes tidying up feel more like a game than a chore.
