There's something quietly grounding about natural weave. The kind of texture that belongs in homes where light shifts through the day, where small rituals matter, where nothing feels forced.
These grey kubu trays nest like old friends. Use them for gathering, for organising, for the moments that make a house feel lived in—wherever that happens to be.
Product Story
∨
The grey kubu weave carries the quiet character of traditional basket-making craft. Each tray is handwoven from natural rattan, a material prized for its strength and subtle texture that deepens with time.
Kubu grey develops through a careful smoking process, giving the rattan its distinctive silvered tone—neither stark nor dull, but softly weathered like driftwood or old garden gates. The nesting design isn't just practical; it's rooted in centuries-old weaving traditions, where space and storage mattered as much as beauty.
These trays belong in homes that value natural materials, honest craft, and pieces that feel lived-in from the start. Thoughtfully curated for countryside living, they're made to be used, not just admired.

Frequently Asked Questions
›
Q: Can these trays be used outdoors?
A: They're best suited for indoor use. While the kubu rattan is naturally durable, prolonged exposure to moisture or direct sunlight may affect the finish over time.
Q: Do the trays nest completely flat?
A: The smaller tray nests inside the larger one with a slight height difference due to the handles, making them easy to store without taking up much space.
Q: Are there natural variations in colour?
A: Yes. Each tray is handwoven and smoked, so subtle variations in grey tone and texture are part of the natural character—no two pieces are identical.
Q: Can I use these for food serving?
A: Absolutely. They're perfect for serving bread, fruit, or arranging tableware. We recommend using a liner or cloth for direct food contact to protect the weave.
