The Bodj Bulb Basket is a beautifully handcrafted fireside basket designed to combine durability, simplicity and natural texture in an elegant everyday storage piece. Made from tightly woven stripped bamboo, smoked for character and finished with fishing line, it offers a refined and highly practical solution for storing logs, kindling or wood pellets beside the fireplace.
What makes the Bulb Basket especially distinctive is its shape. Inspired by the baskets traditionally used by rice farmers to plant seeds, it has a softer, rounded form that feels both functional and sculptural. This gives it a more individual look than standard log baskets, helping it work not just as storage, but as a considered decorative accessory within the room.
The basket is made from hand woven stripped bamboo, a material chosen for its excellent natural strength and versatility. Because the weave is tight and well-formed, the Bulb Basket feels especially durable in everyday use while still maintaining a clean, understated look. The smoked finish adds depth and warmth to the bamboo, while the fishing line detailing contributes to the basket’s neat and robust construction.
Each basket is woven by a basket weaving project based on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, adding a strong handmade and craft-led quality to the finished piece. Bamboo is also a highly sustainable material, known as one of the fastest-growing plants in the world and widely used in Cambodia for everything from building materials to food sources. Its combination of sustainability, durability and flexibility makes it especially well suited to this type of handcrafted home accessory.
With its simple elegance, durable construction and practical fireside use, the Bodj Bulb Basket is a versatile storage piece that suits both contemporary and more natural interior schemes.
