The artful use of alternating lighter and darker water hyacinth fibers creates an appealing striped pattern and gives this basket a unique touch.
Wayag’s warm colors give your interior a particularly cosy accent and make it a versatile accessory. Its possible uses are endless: whether as a stylish laundry basket in the bedroom, as decorative storage space in the living room or even as a natural plant basket – Wayag blends harmoniously into different contexts and adapts to your creativity.

Main material: water hyacinth
Our baskets are made from plant fibers. They therefore smell and feel wonderfully like nature.
The water hyacinth is a tropical aquatic plant that grows in rivers and lakes. It actually originates from South America, but was also introduced to South East Asia. There it is considered a weed because it reproduces incredibly quickly and can cover entire bodies of water with a carpet of leaves. The resulting lack of light and oxygen leads to the death of all living organisms under water, which is why the plants have to be removed regularly. To prepare the plants for further processing, the leaves are cut off and the thick stems are dried in the sun for three to seven days. The result is a sustainable raw material that is available in abundance here at Soeji for many woven goods!
Other material: Metal frame
