Laundry Basket – Water Hyacinth, Black
Product description
PRAYA is a handwoven laundry basket and plant basket made from dried water hyacinth, finished with a graphic net pattern in black cotton. The cylindrical shape and sturdy braided handles make it easy to carry, while the open, tactile weave keeps the basket light and breathable—ideal for laundry, storage, or as a natural cover for an indoor plant pot.
The surface combines warm, straw-like water hyacinth fibres with a contrasting cotton lattice that adds structure and a calm, modern look. In Scandinavian interiors it works as practical storage that still feels considered: natural materials, clear pattern, and an honest handmade finish.
PRAYA is crafted by experienced artisans in Java, Indonesia. Each basket is made by hand from plant fibres, so small variations in colour, weave and size are part of the material and the process.

Why this product stands out
Water hyacinth is a fast-growing aquatic plant that is harvested, sun-dried, and then woven into strong, flexible fibres. The result is a basket that holds its shape without feeling rigid. The added cotton thread pattern is not just decorative—it reinforces the outer structure and gives the basket a distinctive, contemporary grid that pairs well with light woods, linen textiles, and muted colour palettes.
Because the weave is breathable, PRAYA is a practical choice for laundry and everyday storage. When used as a plant basket, it creates a softer, warmer look than ceramic or metal while keeping the room visually calm.
How it works in the home
Use PRAYA where you need storage that can remain visible:
- In the bedroom for laundry, extra blankets, or cushions
- In the living room for throws, magazines, or children’s toys
- In the hallway for hats, scarves, and everyday items
- As a planter cover for indoor pots (place a waterproof saucer or inner pot inside to protect the fibres)
Details
