The Chungu Basket by Bazar Bizar is a quiet celebration of natural materials and thoughtful craftsmanship. Handwoven in Indonesia, this basket is made from water hyacinth and banana leaf, two fast-growing, sustainable materials that are carefully harvested and dried before being woven by skilled artisans. The result is a beautifully textured weave in a soft, natural hue that feels warm, calm and effortless in any space.
Water hyacinth gives the Chungu Basket its subtle strength and flexibility, while banana leaf adds character and a slightly richer texture. Together they create a basket that is lightweight yet surprisingly sturdy, perfect for storing throws, magazines or everyday bits and pieces, while still being lovely enough to stand on its own as a decorative accent. It fits just as naturally in a relaxed living room as it does in a bedroom or hallway, adding that lived-in, collected feel Mayala Home loves so much.
Each Chungu Basket carries the story of the hands that made it. In Indonesia, weaving is often passed down through generations, with techniques refined over time and shared within small communities. By choosing this basket, you support traditional craftsmanship and fair, small-scale production, while bringing an honest, handcrafted piece into your home. The Chungu Basket is not about trends, but about timeless design, natural charm and the beauty of everyday objects made with care.
