Shallow Packing Trays & Baskets

Handwoven Shallow Trays in Rattan, Seagrass and Willow

The range covers tapered tray baskets, straight-sided trays, deeper handled trays and coordinated sets, all handwoven from natural materials including kubu rattan, seagrass, water hyacinth and antique wash willow. Some come lined, others are left unlined to show off the weave, and many are part of nesting sets that stack neatly when not in use.

Trays do something quietly powerful: they turn whatever sits on them into an arrangement. Three candles and a bottle of hand wash become a considered bathroom display, while a couple of books and a bowl of pinecones do the same on a coffee table. Once you start using them, you tend to find more places they belong.

Practical uses are nearly endless, from organising oils and salts on a worktop to corralling perfumes on a dressing table, keys by the front door, or drinks on a sideboard. The flat profile also slides easily under sofas and beds for hidden storage of shoes or papers.

For sizing, a small tray of 25 to 30cm suits a bedside table, a medium of 35 to 45cm a coffee table or island, and a large one a dining or console table. Pair shallow trays with our shelf storage baskets for layered storage, or our storage hampers for lidded counterparts.
