Braided Oval Basket

Elegant detail with woven handles makes this piece more than a traditional basket. A perfect storage option for laundry rooms, living rooms and bedrooms.

Water Hyacinth is a fast-growing aquatic plant native to South East Asia. The plant is easily renewable, flexible but strong, and often needs to be harvested to prevent it from overtaking waterways...all good reasons to use it for furniture-making. Countries that export a lot of water hyacinth furniture include Thailand, Vietnam, and Bali.
