Wall Basket – Banana Fibre, Cotton Cord
Product description
GUMA is a handwoven wall basket made from sturdy banana fibre, finished with an embroidered pattern in cotton cord. Designed as flat wall decor with a practical hanging loop on the reverse, it brings natural texture to calm interiors while keeping the look clean and graphic. It can also be used horizontally as a decorative bowl on a dining table, coffee table, or console—useful for holding keys, small textiles, or seasonal decor.
The design balances warm, sun-dried banana fibre in natural brown tones with a crisp white stitched motif. The plate-like shape and structured weave give it a defined outline on the wall, while the cotton detailing adds a softer surface contrast. Each piece is made by hand, so slight variations in weave, colour, and size are part of the material’s character rather than a defect.
Made in Java, Indonesia, GUMA is crafted by experienced artisans using plant fibres and simple tools. Banana fibre is created from the layered trunks of agricultural banana trees—typically using older plants—then dried and rolled into robust strands. The result is a lightweight yet stable wall basket that holds its shape well over time.

Why this product stands out
Many wall baskets are purely decorative; GUMA is designed to work in two directions—on the wall as woven wall art, or on a surface as a shallow bowl. The banana fibre provides structure and a naturally tactile surface, while the cotton embroidery creates a clear, Scandinavian-friendly graphic that reads well against light walls. Because the fibres are sun-dried, the warm brown tone is achieved without dyes, and the weave remains breathable and resilient.
How it works in the home
Hang one piece above a hallway console to add texture without taking up floor space, or group the two sizes together for a balanced wall arrangement. GUMA also sits well on a dining table as a centre bowl, on a kitchen shelf for bread or fruit (lined if needed), or on a bedside table for everyday essentials. The low profile makes it easy to style in smaller rooms where deeper baskets can feel bulky.
Details
- Material / texture: Natural banana fibre with a firm, slightly rustic weave; cotton cord embroidery adds a softer, matte finish
- Design: Round, plate-shaped wall basket with a bold stitched motif in white and natural brown tones
- Use & care: Dust regularly with a soft brush or dry cloth. Avoid prolonged humidity and direct contact with water; if needed, wipe gently with a barely damp cloth and let dry fully. Keep out of persistent direct sunlight to preserve the natural fibres.
A tasteful gift idea
GUMA is a considered gift for anyone who appreciates natural materials and functional decor. The neutral palette and clean pattern make it easy to place in different interior styles, and the dual use—wall decor or decorative bowl—means it suits new homes, renovations, and small-space living alike.
