SMALL SPACE. BEAUTIFUL THINGS.A little space.
The smaller the space,
A little space.
A lot of
character.
The smaller the space,
the more every detail matters.
A woven basket gives everyday objects a place,
and brings colour and texture to the corners you see every day.

A look at The Basket Room’s sisal weaving.
The people, the fibre and the work of their hands.
It starts with a bundle of fibre.
Natural fibre is prepared for weaving. These photographs show the brand’s sisal craft.
A little more shape, with every round.
Texture, colour and form take shape by hand. Look closely to discover the character of the weave.
04 / LIVE WITH IT, CARE FOR ITEveryday beauty,
Everyday beauty,
cared for slowly.
These are the brand’s key care tips for sisal baskets.
For other materials, follow the individual product and brand guidance.
Give it a dry place to live
Avoid prolonged damp. Keep dyed fibres out of strong direct sunlight to help preserve their colour.
For plants, keep water away from the weave
Keep the plant in a smaller inner pot on a saucer, so soil and water do not touch the woven fibres directly.
Read the size label alongside the measurements
Pieces in the same size category can vary in height, shape and diameter. Ask us to check if it needs to fit a particular space.
