This Lily Pad Wall Basket – Full Weave is the most grounded and calming piece in the collection. Its fully woven surface creates a soft, continuous pattern that feels almost meditative. No rays, no contrasts, just pure craftsmanship and natural texture coming together in a beautifully balanced round shape.

Each basket is handwoven from natural Ilala palm by skilled artisans in Malawi. Basket weaving is part of everyday life there, with techniques passed down through generations. The design is inspired by the lily pad, the national flower of Malawi, known for its quiet, floating presence. This version captures that same stillness in a more minimal and timeless way.

The palm leaves used for this piece are locally harvested and wonderfully sustainable. Ilala palm is a fast-growing, renewable material that is carefully dried before weaving. This slow, manual process allows the fibres to keep their strength and flexibility, resulting in a basket that feels both sturdy and light. The subtle variations in tone and weave give the surface a soft depth, making each piece completely unique.

This wall basket has a calm presence that works beautifully in any space. On its own, it creates a quiet focal point. Combined with other woven pieces, it adds a sense of rhythm and layering without ever feeling busy. The natural tones make it easy to blend into different interiors, from soft neutrals to warmer, more textured spaces.

There is something very honest about this design. It doesn’t rely on bold patterns or details. Instead, it celebrates the beauty of natural materials, the rhythm of handwork, and the simplicity of form. A piece like this brings a gentle warmth to your wall, along with a story of tradition, patience and craftsmanship.
