Basketware: Handwoven Storage With Character
Basketweaving is one of the oldest crafts in the world. Handwoven baskets bring a natural, rustic feel to modern homes. They're strong, light and endlessly useful.
What Is Kubu Grey?
Kubu is a type of natural rattan. It's woven and washed to create a soft grey, weathered finish. Kubu baskets look relaxed and work well in coastal, country and Scandi homes.
Planter Baskets
Lined planter baskets let you display plants without the plastic pot showing. Heart-shaped, barrel and tall round designs come in sets. The lining protects the weave from moisture. They suit both houseplants and patio displays in sheltered spots.
Trug-Style Baskets
Trugs are shallow, handled baskets with a traditional garden feel. Use them for collecting vegetables, flowers or logs. Indoors, they hold magazines or fruit.
Everyday Storage
- Laundry baskets keep bedrooms and bathrooms tidy.
- Log baskets sit beside the fire.
- Small baskets organise shelves and wardrobes.
- Nesting sets store neatly when empty.
Care for Woven Pieces
Keep baskets dry to prevent mould. Dust with a soft brush. If a basket gets wet, dry it in a well-ventilated room away from direct heat. Lined planters should be emptied of standing water.
