Laundry Basket – Water Hyacinth, Brown

€125,00

Product description

The Semeru is a large, rectangular laundry basket with lid, handwoven from natural water hyacinth. Designed to keep everyday clutter contained, it works as a practical laundry hamper while also storing blankets, cushions, or children’s toys. The tight, even weave and warm brown tone give it a calm, natural look that sits comfortably in Scandinavian, Japandi, and relaxed boho interiors.

From the image, the basket has a structured, boxy silhouette with softly rounded corners and a fitted lid. Integrated handholds on the lid make it easy to lift and set back in place—useful when the basket is tucked under a console, beside a wardrobe, or next to a washing machine. The woven surface has a subtle variation in fibre colour, which adds depth without feeling busy.

Water hyacinth is valued for its sturdy, slightly resilient fibres. Here, it’s woven into a thick, durable body that helps the basket keep its shape with regular use. The natural weave remains breathable—an advantage for laundry storage, helping air circulate and reducing the chance of stale odours building up inside a closed hamper.

Key features at a glance

  • Material: Handwoven water hyacinth (natural plant fibre)
  • Dimensions: 45 × 33 × 50 cm
  • Special features: Fitted lid with integrated handholds; breathable weave for airflow
  • Finish / construction: Structured rectangular form with a tight, even weave and rounded edges

Why this product stands out

Many laundry hampers prioritise function but look temporary. Semeru is designed to stay out in the open: its rectangular shape fits neatly along walls and in narrow spaces, and the lid keeps contents discreet. The weight and firmness of the weave make it suitable for daily routines—lifting, closing, and moving from room to room—while the natural fibre adds warmth without introducing strong colours or shine.

Water hyacinth is also a fast-growing, renewable raw material. Each basket is handmade on Java using traditional weaving techniques. Small variations in tone and weave are part of the material and the handcraft, and they give each piece a natural, individual character.

How it works in the home

Use Semeru as a laundry basket in the bedroom or bathroom, where the lid helps keep visual noise low. In a child’s room it works as a toy storage basket that can be closed quickly. In the living room, place it beside a sofa or under a shelf to store throws and extra cushions. Its straight sides make it easy to position next to cabinetry, a bench, or a hallway console without wasting space.

A tasteful gift idea
