Storage Basket – Banana Fibre, Beige, Black
PURA is a round storage basket handwoven from sturdy banana fibre and finished with black cotton cord in a traditional Kawung pattern. Designed as a practical plant basket, laundry basket, or everyday storage, it combines a natural, beige base tone with a graphic black lattice for a calm, structured look. Integrated side handles make it easy to move between rooms, even when filled.
The basket’s body is built from sun-dried banana fibres rolled into robust strands, giving the surface a tactile, slightly irregular character that suits Scandinavian interiors. The contrasting cordwork adds definition without feeling busy, and the open top makes the contents easy to access—useful for throws in the living room, toys in a child’s room, or laundry in the bedroom.
Because each piece is made by hand in Java, Indonesia, small variations in weave, colour, and shape are part of the material and craft. PURA is produced under fair working conditions by experienced adult artisans, using processes with minimal emissions and without harmful chemicals.

Why this product stands out
Banana fibre is a smart choice for baskets that need to keep their shape. It comes from the layered trunks of agriculturally used banana trees, giving the material a second life once the plant is no longer productive. The result is a basket that feels substantial, stands upright, and holds up well to daily use. The Kawung-inspired cord pattern isn’t printed or dyed onto the surface—it is woven on, which keeps the texture honest and the basket visually crisp from every angle.
How it works in the home
PURA is made for homes that prefer visible storage over closed cabinets. Place it next to a sofa for blankets, under a console in the hallway for scarves and gloves, or in the bathroom for towels. As a plant basket, it works well around a standard nursery pot to soften the look of plastic. In bedrooms and utility areas, the handles make it practical as a laundry basket that still looks considered.
