Wolof women in rural Senegal coil these baskets from dried millet grass, threading colorful plastic cord through each row to add both structure and a distinctive two-tone pattern. The navy upper half deepens where the lid meets the body — a geometric color-block that emerges naturally from the weaving process rather than any dye or finish applied after. A fitted lid with a knotted top handle keeps the interior out of sight, while woven side loops make lifting easy. The low, wide silhouette sits comfortably on a floor or low shelf, holding blankets, toys, or anything else that accumulates.
Because each basket is hand-coiled individually, the rhythm of the weave and the exact tone of the natural grass will vary slightly from piece to piece — no two are identical.

The basket that earns its spot on the floor
Blankets folded in, lid pressed down — the living room looks like you tried, but you didn't have to. The navy and natural grass sit together in a way that reads as considered without demanding attention.
