amuco Rattan Bamboo Kohana 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 Kohana 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. These baskets, which are imbued with the craftsmanship rooted in everyday life, will gently accompany you in your daily life.
The wide and shallow opening allows for easy storage while still allowing for easy access to items. The contents are easy to see from above, and the compact size makes it easy to use on a shelf.
You can store placemats, towels, kitchen tools, or even just leave bread you bought in there.
Taking advantage of its excellent breathability, it is also recommended to store wooden tableware and other items in it after wiping off any water, when you want to dry them.
Using it casually can make your daily life a little more comfortable.
Three-dimensional knitting creates an elegant form and practicality
Its greatest feature is its unique shape, which changes from a rounded circular top to a square bottom. This design was realized using advanced techniques that take advantage of the flexibility of natural materials and allow the shape to gradually change as it is woven.
The sides are woven with a design that resembles small blooming flowers, making it both breathable and pretty.
The bottom has X-shaped wooden legs that increase stability on the surface, and the hand-wrapped rattan finish adds a beautiful accent. Another great feature is that the bottom does not come into direct contact with the ground even when items are placed inside, allowing for hygienic storage.
The surface is smooth and silky, while the inside has a slightly fibrous texture. The deep color of the rattan and careful handwork give it a nostalgic and warm feel. The more you use it, the more its texture deepens, making it an appealing item that can be used for a long time and will fit into your daily life.
*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.
