Large Throw Basket in Smoked

This is for the family with more blankets than places to put them.

The Throw Basket is a catch-all with real character. It starts with a square base for stability and curves up into a wide, round top, and in the large size it swallows a stack of throws or a heap of toys without complaint. Long wrapped handles make it comfortable to carry; the smoked finish gives it a warm, honeyed tone.

Underwater Weaving is the basket studio Brooklyn artist Erin Pollard started with her mother, Peggy, in Maine. Everything is woven by hand by the two of them and a small team.

Proof that clutter can have good taste.

Details

• Material: natural, mature rattan, woven by hand; non-toxic dyes and finishes soak into the fiber, so every piece takes color a little differently
• Size: Large
• Color: Smoked
• Dimensions (approx.): 51.5 x 44.5 cm (20.25" x 17.5")
• Height: 44.5 cm (17.5"); depth 37.5 cm (14.75")
• Care: for indoor use; wipe clean with a dry cloth. Rattan is flexible, so if it loses its shape, gently mold it back.
