Small trash bins usually announce themselves as plastic. This one reads as a woven object instead: willow reeds wrapped around a tapered steel frame and painted in a weathered gray wash. The liner inside handles the mess, so the basket can sit in plain view beside a desk or vanity.
Gray paint applied over the weave leaves the reed texture visible while cooling the tone of raw willow. That distressed finish sits comfortably in rustic and farmhouse rooms full of aged wood, and it also holds its own in contemporary spaces where the palette runs to stone, charcoal, and pale plaster.
Strong handwoven willow wraps a tapered steel frame, which is what keeps the walls from flexing when the basket is lifted by the rim. The shape narrows toward the base, measuring 10.63 inches across the top and standing 7.1 inches tall, compact enough to tuck under a console or between a toilet and a wall.
The built-in plastic liner catches whatever would otherwise soak into the reeds, which makes the basket usable in a bathroom or kitchen rather than only a dry office corner. Remove the waste bag entirely and that same liner lets the piece serve as a cachepot for a potted plant.
