Braided banana leaf wraps a round steel frame that tapers toward the base, giving a 10 inch bin a thick, textural surface. The natural color settles into most rooms, working as a small trash can beside a desk or as a catchall basket on a closet shelf.
The leaf is hand braided and then woven, which produces the depth of true wicker rather than a molded imitation of it. Underneath, a round tapered steel frame carries the shape and keeps the sides from flexing when the basket is lifted while full, which is where woven bins without an inner structure tend to lose their form.
Dimensions of 10 by 10 by 10 inches place it between a desktop bin and a kitchen can: large enough for a day of paper and tissues, small enough to stand under a desk, beside a nightstand, or in the corner of a dorm room.
Natural fiber carries no fixed color story, so the basket moves between a white bathroom, a wood heavy living room, and a gray home office without argument. It reads as texture in the corner rather than as an object with a style label attached, and it can follow a household from one apartment to the next without clashing.
Gray paper rope bin, round and tapered at 10 inches, for offices and bedrooms where white shows marks.
Handwoven cattail bin in a golden natural finish, 10 inches around and tall, for bath or bedroom waste.
