Woven Tenganan Basket

Intricate yet with an elegantly simple weave, the woven Tenganan basket makes a stunning and functional accent piece. They are perfect for storing magazines + accessories, as a centerpiece on a dining table, or as a fruit and vegetable basket on your kitchen counter!

This basket is handwoven in the village of Tenganan, Bali using natural Ata reed. The fast-growing Ata reed has to be separated into small, thin strands. Then skilled artisans intricately weave the strands into baskets, working on one basket for up to a month. Once fully woven, the baskets are boiled and left in the sun to dry for a week. Finally, to strengthen the weave, condition the fibers, and leave a natural finish, baskets are smoked over coconut shell clippings. A true dedication to craft to make these gorgeous baskets.
