Laundry Basket, Lid – Banana Fibre, Natural
Product description
KISA is a lidded laundry basket handwoven from sturdy banana fibre, finished with a calm diamond pattern in cotton cord. With its generous round shape (Ø 40 cm) and practical height (53 cm), it keeps everyday laundry neatly contained in the bathroom or bedroom while staying visually light and natural. The fitted lid helps conceal contents, and the loop handle makes it easy to lift when you need quick access.
In the image, the basket’s construction is clearly visible: rolled banana-fibre strands are layered in tight horizontal rows for a stable, dimensional form. The warm, sun-dried brown tone of the fibre is paired with a soft white cord lacing that adds structure and a subtle graphic rhythm—well suited to Scandinavian interiors where texture matters as much as colour.
Beyond laundry, KISA also works as a storage basket for throws, cushions, children’s toys, or extra towels. The integrated side handles make it comfortable to move between rooms without disrupting the shape.

Why this product stands out
Banana fibre is sourced from the layered trunks of banana plants used in agriculture. Once sun-dried, the fibre gains its naturally rich brown colour and becomes remarkably robust. The result is a laundry basket that feels warm and tactile, yet holds its shape better than many soft textile hampers. The lid keeps laundry discreet, which is especially useful in open-plan homes, small bathrooms, or bedrooms where storage is on display.
As with all natural, handcrafted pieces, slight variations in colour and weave are part of the material—not a defect. They are a quiet reminder that each basket is made by hand rather than moulded or mass-produced.
How it works in the home
Place KISA next to a vanity, beside a wardrobe, or in a hallway corner where you need contained storage without a plastic look. The round silhouette softens straight lines from cabinetry and tiles, while the neutral palette pairs easily with pale woods, linen textiles, and stone surfaces. It’s also a practical option in guest rooms for spare bedding, or in a living room for blankets you want close at hand but out of sight.
