Storage Basket – Handwoven Banana Fibre, Natural, White Cotton Cord, Cylindrical
LAWU is a handwoven storage basket made from sturdy banana fibre with a white cotton cord pattern. Designed for everyday organisation, it works equally well as a laundry basket, a plant basket (with an inner pot), or as calm, textured storage for blankets, toys, magazines, and firewood. The cylindrical shape and integrated carry handles make it easy to move from room to room while keeping a clean, natural look.
The basket’s warm brown tone comes from sun-dried banana fibre, tightly rolled into robust strands and woven into a stable body. Over the surface, white cotton cords create a geometric, diamond-like pattern that adds structure without feeling busy—an easy match for Scandinavian interiors built around wood, linen, and muted colours. Each piece is handmade, so small variations in weave, colour, and size are part of the material’s character.
LAWU is produced by experienced artisans in Java, Indonesia, using plant fibres and traditional techniques. No harmful chemicals are used in the manufacturing process, and the basket is delivered in plastic-free packaging.

Why this product stands out
Banana fibre is naturally strong and dimensionally stable, which gives LAWU a more structured feel than many soft seagrass or jute baskets. The dense weave supports heavier contents (like towels or throws), while the cotton cord overlay adds grip and visual rhythm. Because the material is plant-based, the basket has a natural, organic scent and a tactile surface that feels at home in calm, pared-back rooms.
How it works in the home
Use LAWU as a laundry basket in the bedroom or bathroom, where the handles make carrying simple. In the living room, it holds blankets and cushions beside a sofa or armchair. In a hallway, it becomes a neat drop-zone for scarves and accessories. As a plant basket, place a nursery pot inside (ideally with a waterproof liner or saucer) to protect the fibres from moisture—an easy way to soften shelves, sideboards, and window areas with greenery.

A tasteful gift idea
