Main material: water hyacinth

Our baskets are made from plant fibers , so they smell and feel wonderfully natural .

The water hyacinth is a tropical aquatic plant that grows along rivers and lakes. It originally originated in South America but has also been introduced to Southeast Asia. There, it is considered a weed because it reproduces incredibly quickly and can cover entire bodies of water with a carpet of leaves. The resulting lack of light and oxygen leads to the death of all underwater life, which is why the plants must be removed regularly. To prepare the plants for further processing, the leaves are cut off and the thick stems are dried in the sun for three to seven days. The result is a sustainable raw material.

Other material: metal frame
