rattan baskets

Palm-fiber storage vessels

Rattan baskets are containers woven from rattan—the flexible stems of climbing palms native to Southeast Asia.

The material's strength and pliability make it ideal for weaving, producing durable baskets used for storage, laundry, picnics, and home décor: She keeps magazines in a rattan basket by the couch.

The natural look has made rattan baskets popular in bohemian and coastal interior design.
