Storage Basket – Seagrass, Banana Fibre
Product description
KAPAUKU is a handmade storage basket with practical side handles, woven from natural seagrass and strong banana fibre. The basket has a clean, angular shape that sits neatly on shelves, benches, and open storage, while still feeling soft and tactile thanks to the braided plant fibres. Use it as a decorative basket for everyday organising—blankets and cushions in the living room, towels in the bathroom, or pantry items in the kitchen.
The design is built around a clear material contrast: a lighter seagrass weave on the upper half and a deeper, naturally brown banana-fibre base. This two-tone construction adds structure without becoming busy, making KAPAUKU easy to combine with calm Scandinavian interiors—light woods, muted textiles, and ceramics.
Each basket is made by experienced artisans in Java, Indonesia. Because the fibres are natural and the work is done by hand, small variations in colour, shape, and weave are part of the product and a sign of the making process rather than a fault.

Why this product stands out
Many woven baskets look soft but collapse when used for heavier items. KAPAUKU is made from banana fibre—an especially robust plant material sourced from old banana trees—and paired with seagrass for a lighter, flexible upper weave. The result is a storage basket that keeps its shape while staying lightweight and easy to carry. The handles are woven as part of the form, so you can move it from room to room without needing extra liners or inserts.
How it works in the home
This is a versatile woven basket for visible storage—ideal when you want order without closed cabinets. Place it on a hallway console for gloves and scarves, on an open shelf for magazines, or next to the sofa for throws. In the bathroom it fits rolled towels, guest essentials, or toiletries. In the kitchen it works well for tea towels, napkins, or dry goods you prefer to keep within reach.
