Storage Basket – Seagrass, Banana Fibre, Natural
Product description
KUTUS is a round storage basket handwoven from seagrass and banana fibre, finished with practical side handles for easy lifting. Designed as a decorative basket for everyday organising, it works just as well on open shelving as it does on the floor beside a sofa. The natural weave combines warm reddish-brown banana fibre with lighter, beige seagrass for a calm, tactile look that fits Scandinavian interiors.
The basket’s low, open shape makes it easy to reach into—use it for toys, magazines, throws, firewood, or as a neat kitchen basket for linens and small items. In the image, the baskets are styled with utensils and paper goods, showing how well the wide opening and stable base suit daily storage without looking like “storage”.
Each KUTUS basket is made from plant fibres and woven by hand in Java, Indonesia. Because the materials are natural and the work is handmade, small variations in colour, weave and size are part of the character and a sign of traditional craftsmanship.

Why this product stands out
KUTUS uses two fibres with different strengths: seagrass provides flexibility and a refined surface, while banana fibre adds structure and a naturally deeper tone. The result is a sturdy basket that holds its shape well for everyday use. Unlike thin, purely decorative woven bowls, the thicker braid and stitched construction make it suitable for frequent lifting and moving—especially useful when storing heavier items such as magazines or kindling.
The natural fibres also have a subtle, earthy scent and texture—an honest material presence without coatings or unnecessary finishes.
How it works in the home
Place KUTUS where clutter tends to gather. The low height keeps it visually quiet, while the handles make it easy to relocate when cleaning or rearranging.
