amuco Rattan Bamboo Morph Basket - A handmade basket 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 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, many ways to use it
The "Rattan Bamboo Morph 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.
The calming colors and warmth of natural materials blend gently into any space. The wide opening makes it easy to put things in, so it's also nice to use casually.
Its breathability makes it perfect for temporarily storing vegetables and fruits. It's also great for storing slippers and guest slippers in the entryway. You can also store bags of coffee beans or cans of tea, or simply leave bread lying around after buying it.
Using it casually can make your daily life a little more comfortable.
The beauty of utility woven together by the changing shape and the beauty of the weave
The woven rattan body has a sturdy structure, yet exudes a natural, calm atmosphere. Its greatest feature is its unique form, which changes from a rounded circular top to a square bottom. This design is realized using advanced techniques that take advantage of the flexibility of natural materials and gradually change shape as they are woven.
The edges are decorated with a lattice design made of vertically arranged bamboo and horizontally running rattan, making it both beautiful and practical.
The sides are made of wicker, which naturally accentuates the curves while providing breathability and flexible strength.
The bottom features a herringbone pattern made from diagonally woven bamboo twill. Slightly protruding corners act as legs and ensure stability by preventing the table from rolling.
The surface is smooth and silky to the touch, while the inside has a slightly fibrous texture that is unique to natural materials.
*When you put cloth items in the bag, the fibers may get caught on them, so if this bothers you, please use a multi-purpose cloth or similar item underneath.
Rattan and bamboo baskets carefully woven by artisans, rooted in everyday life
We also have a large selection of baskets purchased in Thailand.
For example, if you want to create a more compact storage space for similar purposes, we recommend the Kohana Basket or the Two-Color Handle Basket.
If you're using it on a shelf, the handleless Kohana Basket is convenient and fits neatly.
On the other hand, if you move it around a lot or want to add a touch of design, try the Two-Color Handle Basket.
