Sale price$56.00
Out of stock

There is a quiet geometry to this piece - soft curves giving way to gentle structure, a circle unfolding into a square. The Micaela Indigo Basket carries this transition with ease, its form both intentional and fluid, like something shaped slowly by hand and time.

Woven in the highlands of Guatemala, the basket brings together natural fibers and deep indigo tones in a way that feels both grounded and expressive. The delicate raffia stitching traces subtle patterns across the surface, while the open corners create a lightness within its structure. It is a piece that invites both use and appreciatio - something to hold, to display, to return to.


Key Features:
  • Handwoven Artisan Craftsmanship: Each basket is carefully constructed by hand using traditional techniques. The detailed raffia stitching reflects the skill and patience of the artisan, creating a piece rich in texture and nuance.
  • Natural + Sustainable Materials: Made from longleaf pine needles, pajón (a native Guatemalan grass), and raffia. These fibers provide both strength and an organic, tactile quality.
  • Distinctive Transitional Shap: The central circular form expands into a softly structured square with open corners, offering both visual interest and functional versatility.
  • Indigo Raffia Accents: Deep blue tones are woven throughout the design, adding contrast and depth while remaining rooted in a natural palette.
  • Functional + Decorative Use: Ideal as a catchall, tabletop accent, or wall display. A versatile piece that balances artistry with everyday utility.
  • One-of-a-Kind Variations: Each basket will vary slightly in tone, pattern, and weave, reflecting its handmade nature.

There is something enduring in objects shaped slowly - where material, movement, and intention come together. This basket holds that spirit, offering both form and function in quiet harmony.
