Description
This is for anyone whose bottom stair has become a holding area.
A nod to the rattan revival of the '70s and '90s, the Stair Tote is shaped to sit on a step. It fits a standard 7.5" (19 cm) stair rise, so it can wait on the stairs collecting everything that needs to go up, then make the trip in one go by its signature wrapped handles. Light and durable, in natural rattan.
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.
One trip upstairs. Everyone wins.
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
- Color: Natural
- Dimensions (approx.): 40.5 x 18 cm (16" x 7")
- Height: 31 cm (12.25") without handles, 51 cm (20") with handles
- Care: for indoor use; wipe clean with a dry cloth. Rattan is flexible, so if it loses its shape, gently mold it back.
- Made in the USA: handwoven by Underwater Weaving in Maine and Brooklyn
Care
