Dimensions: height 64 cm, width 46 cm, depth 40 cm.

The weave is made from natural and darker-toned bamboo, creating a subtle striped pattern. The braided rim at the top provides a refined finish and highlights its handcrafted character.

The shape is strong and sculptural, giving the basket real presence even when empty. Beautiful with dried flowers, long branches, or simply displayed on its own as a decorative object. Thanks to its restrained lines and warm natural material, this piece fits beautifully into minimalist, wabi-sabi, bohemian, or eclectic interiors.

A particularly decorative object that brings together function and form with ease. It also works very well as a large floor piece beside a cabinet, sofa, or low table.

In very good condition in proportion to its age, with minimal wear consistent with the material.

A refined and atmospheric piece with a calm, natural presence. See less
