Large banana leaf floor basket – conical shape, 81 cm, recent

Large banana leaf floor basket – tall conical basket, 81 cm

An impressively large, recently made floor basket made of banana leaf: 81 cm high and 64 cm wide at the base, in a sculptural, conical shape that tapers towards the top. The basket is built up from twisted strands of banana leaf fibre, coiled layer by layer and stitched together with fine thread. The natural colour variations, from pale straw to dark chestnut brown, create an attractive striped, lively surface. A large woven basket that works just as well as a decorative floor vase or as an eye-catcher in an empty corner.

Why we chose this piece

We chose it for its size and shape: you rarely see these baskets this large, and the beehive-like silhouette makes it more of an object than a storage basket. Our shop cat agreed immediately and crawled straight in.

Style and interior

Beautiful in a boho, Ibiza, wabi-sabi or Japandi interior, next to a sofa, in a hallway or on a large landing. Fill it with dried flowers or long branches, or leave it empty as a sculptural object. It also looks lovely in a clean, white interior, where the warm natural tones soften the whole.

Dimensions: height 81 cm, diameter 64 cm at the base
Material: twisted banana leaf fibre, stitched with fine thread
Style: natural / boho
Period: recently made (contemporary)
Origin: Southeast Asia (Vietnam or Indonesia)
Condition: good condition. The basket is sturdy and holds its shape. Here and there short ends of the leaf strands stick out, and a loose end of stitching thread hangs at the top rim (photo 6); this is part of the handwork and can easily be trimmed. The colour variations in the leaf are natural.
