Wall Basket, Decorative Bowl - Banana Fibre, Natural
Product description
MELAYA is a handmade wall basket crafted from untreated banana fibre, shaped like a simple flower with a spiral-woven centre. Designed to work both as woven wall decor and as a decorative bowl, it brings natural texture to calm, Scandinavian interiors without adding visual noise. The warm, dark brown tone comes from sun-dried fibres and varies subtly from piece to piece—an honest result of working with plant material and handwork.
In the image, the basket reads as a flat, round form with softly scalloped “petals.” The centre is tightly coiled, while the outer section is built from thicker rolled strands laid in a radiating pattern. This construction gives MELAYA a defined silhouette on the wall and a practical, shallow depth for tabletop use.
Banana fibre is sourced from the layered trunks of agricultural banana trees at the end of their life cycle. After drying, the fibres are rolled into robust strands and shaped over a discreet internal frame. The result is a wall piece that feels light to handle yet stable in form—ideal if you want natural wall art that is easy to live with.

Why this product stands out
Many woven wall hangings rely on mixed colours or added embellishment. MELAYA keeps to one material and one natural shade, letting structure do the work: the contrast between the tight centre coil and the radiating outer weave creates depth without heaviness. The metal frame helps the flower form stay crisp over time, while the banana-fibre strands bring a tactile, matte surface that pairs naturally with wood, linen, stone and ceramics.
How it works in the home
As boho wall basket decor, MELAYA sits well above a sofa, on a hallway wall, or grouped with other natural fibres for a quiet gallery effect. On a dining table or kitchen island it functions as a shallow bowl for dry items—think bread rolls for serving, napkins, keys, or small everyday objects you want to keep contained. Its neutral brown makes it easy to mix with pale walls, oak tones, and muted textiles.
