Laundry Basket – Water Hyacinth, Natural
Product description
AMAN is a large, round laundry basket with lid, handwoven from sturdy water hyacinth. With a generous Ø54 cm footprint and a height of 55 cm, it is designed to hold everyday laundry out of sight while keeping the room calm and tidy. The woven construction gives the basket structure, and the integrated side handles make it easier to carry between bedroom, bathroom and laundry area.
The natural fibre is sun-dried to achieve its warm, honey-brown tone—without chemical treatment. In the image, the tight, even weave and thick rim create a solid silhouette, while the matching lid sits flat and closes neatly, helping to reduce visual clutter and keep textiles protected from dust.
Water hyacinth is a fast-growing aquatic plant that is regularly removed from waterways. By turning the dried stems into basketry, the material becomes a practical, renewable resource with a tactile surface that suits Scandinavian interiors—particularly where you want storage that feels natural rather than utilitarian.

Why this product stands out
Large laundry hampers often fall into two categories: soft bags that collapse or rigid plastic bins that feel technical. AMAN sits in between—substantial enough to keep its shape, yet made entirely from natural fibre for a softer look. The lid is a practical detail for shared spaces: it keeps laundry discreet and makes the basket suitable for open-plan homes, guest bathrooms, or bedrooms where you prefer storage that blends in.
Because each piece is handwoven, subtle variations in weave, tone, and shape are part of the product. This also means the basket has a more crafted feel than mass-produced alternatives.
How it works in the home
Use AMAN as a dedicated laundry hamper in the bedroom or bathroom, or place it in a hallway or dressing area for quick drop-off storage. Its round form works well next to a cabinet, under a coat rack, or beside a bench. It also suits homes that sort laundry by day or by family member—simply lift the lid and keep everything contained until wash day.
Details
- Texture: Thick, braided water hyacinth with a tactile, matte surface
- Design: Rounded cylinder with fitted lid and a small top handle; side handles integrated into the weave
- Care: Keep dry. Dust with a soft brush or dry cloth. If needed, wipe lightly with a barely damp cloth and allow to air-dry fully. Avoid soaking and prolonged humidity to preserve the fibre.
A tasteful gift idea
