Woven Basket – Water Hyacinth, Natural, White
Product description
YALIMO is a round woven basket made from sturdy, sun-dried water hyacinth, finished with a crisp striped zig-zag pattern in natural and white tones. Handwoven in Java, Indonesia, it is designed for everyday storage—equally useful as a laundry basket, a planter cover, or a calm way to gather throws, toys, and magazines. Integrated handles make it easy to move from room to room, while the structured weave helps the basket keep its shape.
The surface shows the character of real plant fibres: slightly varied in tone, tactile, and matte rather than glossy. The white accents are woven into the body to create a graphic rhythm that reads clean in Scandinavian interiors—warm enough for wood and textiles, but with enough contrast to sit well against light walls and minimal shelving.
Because each basket is made by hand from natural material, small differences in colour, size, and weave tension are part of the finish and should be expected. The result is a practical storage piece that looks considered even when in daily use.

Why this product stands out
Water hyacinth is a robust fibre with a naturally warm colour and a pleasantly dry feel. The plant grows quickly in tropical waterways and is regularly removed to keep lakes and rivers clear; once harvested, the stems are dried and woven into durable household goods. In YALIMO, the material choice matters: it provides strength without heaviness, and it develops a lived-in patina over time rather than looking worn.
The built-in handles solve a common issue with round storage baskets—lifting and carrying—making it easier to use for laundry or to move a plant to clean beneath it. If you use it as a planter basket, place the plant in a waterproof inner pot or use a liner to protect the natural fibres from moisture.
How it works in the home
Use YALIMO in the living room beside a sofa for blankets, in the hallway for scarves and hats, or in a bedroom as a laundry basket that doesn’t need hiding. The round shape softens straight-lined furniture, while the striped pattern adds texture without visual noise. It also works well next to low shelving, under a console table, or in a child’s room for quick, tidy storage.
