Some storage doesn't hide away—it becomes part of the room. These Elmley grey Kubu square baskets bring handcrafted texture and quiet elegance to your home, with natural rattan weave in soft grey tones that feel both timeless and grounding.
Perfect for the kind of home where beautiful things earn their place in view, not tucked behind closed doors. Laundry, linens, blankets—whatever needs a proper home finds it here.
Product Story
∨
Kubu rattan doesn't grow grey—it's steamed and smoked over open fires to achieve these soft, weathered tones that feel like driftwood washed up on a quiet shore. This traditional Indonesian technique transforms natural rattan into something with depth, character, and a tactile warmth that painted finishes simply cannot replicate.
These Elmley baskets are handwoven by artisans who've spent years perfecting the craft. Each strand is carefully interlaced to create sturdy, square forms with integrated handles strong enough to carry a full load of laundry without flexing. The linen lining adds a layer of softness inside, protecting delicate fabrics whilst giving the baskets a finished, considered look. This is storage that works hard but looks effortless—the kind of piece that makes a room feel more pulled together just by being there.
