Braided by hand from paper rope and shaped around a tapered steel frame, this basket carries the contrast of natural fiber against cream. Its 10-inch proportions, equal in width and height, hold a useful amount of trash without the bulk of a kitchen-sized bin.
Bands of undyed rope alternate with cream, giving the basket a graphic contrast that keeps it from reading as another beige object in the corner. The combination lands squarely in boho and transitional rooms, and it also breaks up the hard surfaces of a contemporary bath where most of the palette is tile.
Paper rope is braided by hand and wound around a tapered steel frame, so the basket has the give of a textile with the structure of metal underneath. The walls flex slightly when squeezed and return to shape, useful in a bathroom where a rigid bin gets knocked by knees and elbows.
The round profile measures 10 inches in diameter and 10 inches tall, tapering toward the base so it tucks into a corner. Without a bag it works as open storage for rolled towels, hair tools, cords, or craft supplies, which makes it as useful in a dorm room as beside a desk.
Banana leaf woven over a tapered steel frame, a 10 inch round bin for bedroom, bath, or office waste.
