The Bodj Floppy Basket Small is a beautifully handwoven storage basket designed to combine natural texture, practical strength and relaxed, unstructured style. Woven from soft steamed water hyacinth, it offers a tactile, organic look that works especially well beside fireplaces, wood burning stoves and in contemporary rustic interiors, while also providing a practical way to store logs, kindling or wood pellets.
What makes the Floppy Basket Small stand out is its soft, seamless woven construction. Unlike more rigid log baskets, this design has a looser, more relaxed shape that gives it a casual and understated character while still remaining impressively strong. The natural leathery texture of the woven water hyacinth adds warmth and depth, helping the basket feel like a considered home accessory rather than simply a utility item.
The basket is particularly useful for fireside storage, with enough capacity to hold everyday fuel while remaining easy to move and position around the home. It is ideal for customers wanting a softer, more informal alternative to metal or heavy structured baskets, especially in interiors where natural materials and texture are an important part of the look. It can also be stored flat when not in use, which adds a very practical benefit where storage space is limited.
Each basket is handmade in Phnom Penh through a basket weaving project, giving every piece a slightly individual character. The use of water hyacinth is also significant from a sustainability point of view. Harvested from lakes and rivers, this fast-growing plant can clog waterways and choke other plant life, so repurposing it into woven home accessories is both resourceful and ecologically beneficial.
With its combination of handmade character, natural texture and practical fireside function, the Bodj Floppy Basket Small is a versatile addition to the home, whether used for logs, kindling, pellets or general stylish storage.
