Description
This is a kids storage basket shaped like a sleeping rabbit, braided from water hyacinth and standing 60cm tall and 35cm across. The lid is the rabbit's head, with stitched closed eyes, a small round nose and a smiling mouth, plus two braided ears: one stands upright while the other bends over at the tip. Beneath the head sits a rounded, egg-shaped body covered in a multicoloured dotted pattern, with two braided feet showing paw pads at the front and a round pom-pom tail at the back. The whole basket weighs 1.5KG.
At 60cm tall it is a floor basket, sized for the corner of a nursery, a child's bedroom or a playroom. The body takes soft toys, dressing-up clothes, building blocks or a folded blanket, and the head lifts away from the body as a lid, so tidying away at the end of the day can become part of the game. With the lid in place the clutter is hidden and the rabbit stays on show as a friendly character in the room. It sits just as happily beside a reading chair or at the foot of a bed, and it makes a cheerful gift for a child who loves animals.
The basket is braided water hyacinth, a plant fibre with a chunky, rope-like texture, and its materials also include iron and cotton. The braiding runs in neat rows around the body, while the head, ears and feet are worked in the same braided fibre as the body. Water hyacinth is a light material, which suits a basket that will be opened and moved often. For styling, set it on a wooden floor or a soft rug where the dotted pattern catches the eye across the room, and let the bent ear rest against a wall or the end of a cot.
