amuco Rattan Bamboo Laundry 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.
One basket for neat and tidy storage
The "Rattan Bamboo Laundry Basket" is a warm, one-of-a-kind item, carefully woven one by one by local artisans. Combining lightweight yet durable rattan and bamboo, this basket makes the most of the natural texture of the materials. This basket, embodies the craftsmanship rooted in everyday life, will gently accompany you in your daily life.
The loosely woven design allows for good ventilation, and it can be used in the laundry room as a temporary storage space for laundry or as a basket for bringing in dry clothes. It can also be used to store towels and linens, and the handles make it easy to move.
In addition to clothes, it can also be used as a convenient storage basket in the stockroom. Keeping detergent refills and cleaning tools together keeps things neat and tidy, and makes them easy to access when needed.
When used together, the warmth of natural materials blends seamlessly into the space, creating a neat and tidy impression.
Handcrafted with linear beauty and practicality
The body is carefully woven from rattan, giving it a natural feel while remaining sturdy. Thick rattan cores are evenly distributed vertically, acting as a framework to support the entire piece, while thin, flexible rattan is wrapped and fastened horizontally, creating a sense of structural stability and visual rhythm.
There is a space on the side of the main body for holding in your hand, and the handle is reinforced with multiple layers of thin rattan, making it comfortable to hold.
The bottom has a lattice structure made of crossed rattan, which prevents moisture from building up and provides excellent breathability, enhancing its functionality as a laundry basket.
The surface is smooth and silky to the touch, and the texture deepens with use, making it a practical everyday tool.
*Please be careful when putting cloth items in the bag as they may get caught on the fibers.
