Description
This storage basket is shaped like a rocket, with a pointed nose, a rounded body and triangular fins at its base. It is 70% rattan and 30% iron, with the rattan woven in a natural tone, and the nose lifts away as the lid to open up the body for storage. Woven bands and a porthole ring in contrasting tones pick out the details of a spacecraft. At 31cm across and 35cm tall, it is a floor-standing size: a sensible home for a child's everyday toys, and small enough to sit beside a bed without crowding it.
As kids storage, it belongs in a child's bedroom, a nursery or a playroom, where soft toys, building blocks and toy cars can disappear under the lid at tidy-up time. The rocket shape gives tidying a sense of fun, and once the lid is closed it looks like a piece of decoration rather than clutter. At 0.8KG it is light enough to carry from the bedroom to the playroom and back, and it works as well in a family living room where a few favourite toys need a home of their own. It also makes a thoughtful gift for a nursery or a child who loves anything to do with space.
Both the body and the lid are woven rattan, with iron making up the remaining 30% of the composition. Rattan is a natural material, so its tone and weave vary slightly from one basket to the next, which gives each piece its own character. Rattan is also light and springy, which suits a basket that is lifted and opened many times a day. When styling it, set it on a soft rug beside the bed or next to a low bookcase, with enough room around it for the fins to spread and the lid to lift away easily.
