Tray – Water Hyacinth, Metal, Natural
Product description
The BESAKIH tray is a rectangular serving and storage tray handwoven from natural water hyacinth around a discreet metal frame. The result is a lightweight yet stable tray with clean lines, low sides, and practical handles—ideal for carrying drinks, arranging snacks, or keeping everyday items neatly gathered on a table, shelf, or kitchen counter.
In the image, the woven structure is clearly visible: a tight, even braid with a warm natural-brown tone and a softly textured surface. The flat base sits steady, while the raised edge helps keep items in place when moving from kitchen to dining table. The integrated handles make it comfortable to lift, even when the tray is fully loaded.
Water hyacinth is a fast-growing aquatic plant; once dried, its stems become a strong fibre for basketry and woven home accessories. Each BESAKIH tray is made by hand in Java, Indonesia, so small variations in weave, colour, and dimensions are part of the material’s character and the handmade process.

Why this product stands out
Many woven trays look good but feel soft when carried. BESAKIH is reinforced with a metal frame, giving it the rigidity needed for daily use—serving coffee, transporting breakfast bowls, or collecting glasses after dinner. The water hyacinth weave adds warmth without looking rustic; it works well with calm Scandinavian interiors, light woods, linen textiles, and neutral ceramics.
The natural fibre also brings a subtle, plant-based scent and tactile texture. Used regularly, it becomes a practical organising tool that reduces visual clutter—everything from oils and spices to remotes and magazines can be kept together in one defined place.
How it works in the home
Use BESAKIH as a serving tray for weekend breakfast, or as a base for a simple table arrangement with candles and a small vase. In the kitchen, it keeps jars, spices, and oils grouped on the counter. On a hallway console, it holds keys, sunglasses, and everyday carry items. In the bedroom, it makes a tidy surface for skincare or jewellery on a dresser.
