storage basket

As plastic storage boxes pile up in the corner, this handmade straw basket, embodying thousands of years of craftsmanship and recognized as an intangible cultural heritage, is redefining home aesthetics in its natural state. ​
Selected high-quality reeds and bulrush from the Yellow River Basin are handcrafted through 14 intangible cultural heritage processes, including “harvesting, drying, sorting, and weaving”. The old craftsmen use the ancient method of “cross-weaving” as the foundation, ensuring that every inch of the grass is precisely interlocked. The edges are reinforced with the “wrapping and reinforcing” technique, which preserves the breathability of the straw weaving while ensuring stable load-bearing capacity. Holding it in your hand, you can feel the natural texture of the grass stems, and placing it on the table brings a rustic and warm atmosphere. ​
The living room can accommodate snacks and remote controls, the bedroom can hold scarves and socks, and the study can display books and green plants. It can even be used as a fruit basket to display fresh fruits, which is particularly elegant. The natural straw weaving material is resistant to moisture and is not prone to deformation after long use. As time goes by, the straw color will become more mellow, precipitating a unique imprint of life. ​
This is not just a storage box, but also a carrier of intangible cultural heritage that can be displayed. Every use is a safeguarding of traditional craftsmanship, bringing the thousand-year-old straw weaving skill into daily life and injecting a sense of warmth and oriental poetry into the home space.
