Storage Basket – Seagrass, White Cotton
Product description
NIAS is a large, round woven storage basket made from natural seagrass with a white cotton finish at the rim. Designed as a practical laundry basket, it also works well as a planter basket (to hide a standard nursery pot) or as everyday storage for throws, towels, and toys. Two integrated handles make it easy to lift and move, even when filled.
The basket’s surface shows the tight, horizontal weave typical of robust seagrass: tactile, slightly irregular, and warm in tone. The upper section is wrapped in white cotton, creating a clean contrast that suits Nordic and minimalist interiors without feeling stark. The silhouette is softly rounded, with a stable base and an open top for quick access—useful in busy rooms where storage needs to be visible and simple.
Each NIAS basket is handmade from plant fibres, so small variations in shape and weave are part of the material and the craft. It arrives in plastic-free packaging and is shipped directly from the brand.

Why this product stands out
Many woven baskets look similar at first glance, but NIAS is built for daily use. Seagrass is flexible yet resilient, holding its shape better than softer fibres and offering a naturally textured surface that ages well. The cotton band at the top is not only visual; it gives a smoother grip around the rim when you’re reaching in or carrying it. The handles are formed as part of the basket’s structure, making it practical for laundry days and quick room resets.
Used as a plant basket, NIAS helps you keep the look of natural fibres while avoiding the mess of exposed plastic nursery pots. Simply place your plant in a waterproof inner pot or keep the plant in its nursery pot and lift it out for watering.
How it works in the home
In the bathroom, use it as a laundry hamper for towels and linens. In the bedroom, it’s ideal for spare blankets or cushions. In the living room, it keeps children’s toys or magazines gathered without adding visual clutter. By the hallway console, it becomes an easy drop spot for scarves and soft accessories. As a planter basket, it pairs especially well with taller indoor plants where the round shape balances the foliage.

A tasteful gift idea
