amuco Rattan Bamboo Storage Basket - A handmade item found in Thailand that blends seamlessly into everyday life
The "amuco" series of handmade baskets, discovered in Thailand, is recommended for those who would like to quietly incorporate everyday items that connect them to somewhere in the world into their lives.
Not only can it be used easily for storage or when going out, but incorporating one into your daily life will bring a touch of exoticism and make you feel as if the world has suddenly expanded. Such small changes will bring a comfortable space into your daily life.
Thailand, where we purchased our products, is located in Southeast Asia and is a country with a rich natural environment and a long history. It is rich in tropical natural materials, and rattan and bamboo have long been used in a wide range of household items, furniture, bags, and other handicrafts. Their lightweight and durable bags are popular for shopping and outings.
Perfect for general storage. A basket that can be used in a variety of ways.
The "Rattan Bamboo Stock Basket" is a warm, one-of-a-kind item, carefully woven one by one by local artisans. Combining light and durable rattan and bamboo, this basket makes the most of the natural texture of the materials. This basket, which breathes the art of craftsmanship rooted in everyday life, will gently accompany you in your daily life.
It's about 23cm deep, so it's just the right size for storing rolled up blankets and blankets. The loose weave allows for good ventilation, and it's also recommended for temporarily storing gardening supplies.
The wide opening and generous depth make it easy to put things in and take them out. When you need it, you can quickly grab it and when you want to put it away, you just pop it in without any hassle. This convenience is also one of the charms of this basket.
Taking advantage of its breathability, it can be used to temporarily store laundry in the laundry room, or to store slippers and guest shoes in the entryway.
The warmth of natural materials blends gently into the space, adding a neat impression.
A light and airy appearance that breathes structural beauty and the warmth of handcrafted workmanship.
The sides of the body are decorated with a hexagonal openwork pattern known as "kikko-ami," a design also seen in Japanese bamboo crafts, resulting in a lightweight and breathable finish. The hexagonal shape is a rational shape that disperses forces concentrated at one point, achieving maximum strength with the minimum amount of material.
The tapered structure, which is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, has a low center of gravity, providing stability while also distributing the force applied to the stitches in a balanced manner.
The base is made of cross-shaped wooden pieces, which minimizes the contact area with the floor and also helps with ventilation and moisture control.
The joints between the wooden legs and the rattan are carefully crossed and wrapped by hand, achieving both strength and beauty.
The surface is smooth and silky to the touch, while the inside has the texture of natural materials, giving it a rustic feel. The more you use it, the more it develops its character.
*Please be careful when putting cloth items in the bag as they may get caught on the fibers.

We also have a large selection of baskets purchased in Thailand.
For example, if you want to store things roughly but don't need depth, we recommend the shallow Morph Basket. Its shape makes it easy to take things in and out even when stored on a shelf.
For those who need a larger capacity or want to store items upright, try the Laundry Basket. Its simple and user-friendly design blends naturally into any space.
