Storage Basket – Seagrass, Natural, Rectangular

Product description

The BATIK basket is a rectangular woven storage basket made from natural seagrass, designed for organised shelves, neat corners, and everyday laundry or linen storage. Its defining feature is the bold, large-scale chequered weave, which gives the basket a structured shape and a stable feel while keeping the look light and natural—well suited to calm, Scandinavian interiors.

In the image, the basket’s chunky weave and slightly rounded rim create a soft, tactile edge, while the integrated side handles make it easy to pull out from a shelf or carry from room to room. The natural beige tone varies subtly across the fibres, which is typical for plant-based materials and part of what makes each piece feel considered rather than uniform.

This basket is handmade in Java, Indonesia using traditional weaving techniques. Because each piece is made by hand and from natural fibres, small variations in colour, size, and weave tension can occur. The result is a practical storage piece with a crafted, honest finish rather than a factory-perfect surface.

Why this product stands out

Many woven baskets rely on simple parallel strands, which can soften and slump over time. The BATIK basket uses a larger, interlaced pattern that adds visual rhythm and helps the basket keep its form—useful when storing heavier items such as folded towels, toys, magazines, or laundry. Seagrass also brings a dry, natural hand-feel and a subtle, botanical scent typical of plant fibres.

The rectangular format is a practical choice if you are organising open shelving, wardrobes, or modular storage systems where round baskets waste space. The straight sides and defined corners make it easy to align several baskets and keep a tidy front line on shelves.

How it works in the home

Use it on a living room shelf for throws, remotes, and magazines, or place it by the sofa to hold cushions (as shown). In the bedroom, it works well for extra bedding, knitwear, or scarves. In a hallway console or under-bench storage, the handles help you slide it out quickly for gloves and accessories. The larger sizes suit laundry, while the smaller sizes are ideal for wardrobes, children’s rooms, and home office storage where paper and everyday items need a clear place.

A tasteful gift idea

A well-made storage basket is a useful gift that suits many homes and styles. The neutral seagrass tone works with light woods, painted shelving, and muted textiles, making it an easy choice for housewarmings, new parents, or anyone setting up a more organised home.
