Woven by hand in the Bolgatanga region of northern Ghana, this basket planter is shaped from elephant swamp grass — a natural fiber known for its quiet resilience and warm straw tone. Alternating bands of tight coiling and open lattice work give the surface its texture and breathability, while the rounded form sits low and grounded, making room for trailing leaves or upright stems with equal ease. Lightweight enough to move between rooms, sturdy enough to stay put.

Each piece is shaped by a single pair of hands, so slight variation in weave density and color is part of what makes it yours.
