Description
This is a tall, round storage basket made from half jute and half seagrass, 40cm across and 49cm tall with a gentle taper towards the base. Bands of white jute cord alternate with bands of braided seagrass from base to rim, joined by fine zigzag stitching, so the white reads as soft horizontal stripes rather than a flat block. A braided seagrass edge finishes the rim, and two handles are worked into the upper coils on opposite sides. At 0.817KG it is light to lift, even at this height.
Its height makes it a natural laundry basket in a bedroom or a family bathroom, and the two handles make the trip to the washing machine easy. It works just as well in a living room for folded throws and spare cushions, beside the sofa for magazines, or in a hallway for scarves, hats and bags. In a child's room it gives soft toys and dressing-up clothes a home that is quick to tidy, since the wide open top takes things in a single toss. Anyone who wants storage that sits out in the room, rather than hidden in a cupboard, will find it earns its floor space.
Jute and seagrass are both plant fibres, and here the jute is made into cord and the seagrass into braid, then stitched in rounds, which gives the sides a firm, textured surface you can feel under your hand. The horizontal stripes keep the look calm, so it sits comfortably beside pale or darker furniture without competing with it. As a styling note, stand it at the end of a bed with a folded blanket draped over the rim, or pair it with plain linen and pale wood so the striped texture gets the attention.
