Old Indian bamboo basket

Product description

This bamboo basket is not trying to be perfect. It was found in India and clearly shows signs of a life in use. The bamboo is slightly uneven and full of small variations that make each basket a little different. The dark metal bands hold everything together, like a belt that has been wrapped around it for years. And it works. Use it as a large fruit bowl on the kitchen counter. Not for the perfect, polished apples, but for lemons, onions, garlic, and everything that is allowed to be a bit messy. It adds weight and calm to otherwise everyday items. Or place it in the bathroom with rolled-up towels. It works surprisingly well, like taking something very practical and giving it a bit of edge. It can do more than just hide clutter. It can also be the piece that brings a room together. You will not get two that are the same. And that is exactly the point.
