Laundry Basket – Banana Fibre, Cotton, White
Product description
EMPAT is a handwoven laundry basket with lid, made from sturdy banana fibre and finished with a white cotton macramé pattern. The round, lidded form keeps laundry and everyday clutter out of sight, while the integrated handle makes the lid easy to lift. With its warm, natural fibre tone and crisp cotton detailing, it works as a practical storage hamper in calm, Scandinavian-inspired interiors.
The basket is tightly coiled and woven from sun-dried banana fibre, creating a dense surface that holds its shape well in daily use. The cotton cords are applied as a graphic band around the top, adding contrast without feeling decorative for decoration’s sake. A matching woven handle on the lid keeps the silhouette clean and functional.
Because banana fibre comes from the layered trunks of agricultural banana trees, each basket has small natural variations in colour and texture. These differences are part of the material rather than a flaw—useful to know if you prefer natural fibres that look honest and lived-in.

Why this product stands out
Many laundry baskets prioritise function but look temporary. EMPAT is built to be left out. The banana fibre weave provides rigidity and breathability—useful for storing textiles—while the lid keeps visual noise down in bedrooms, bathrooms, and hallways. The cotton macramé band adds a clear design detail that reads well against pale walls, oak, and stone surfaces typical of Nordic homes, without relying on shiny finishes or artificial colour.
It is also a practical alternative to plastic hampers: the material feels warm to the touch, ages gracefully, and stays relevant even when used beyond laundry—think blankets, children’s toys, or spare cushions.
How it works in the home
Place it where you naturally create piles. In a bedroom, the lidded design keeps laundry contained and the room visually calm. In a bathroom, it offers a breathable storage solution for towels and linens (avoid direct contact with wet floors). In a hallway or living room, it works as a generous closed basket for throws, magazines, or toys—storage that looks intentional rather than improvised.
