This naturally finished fruit bowl is hand-woven from coconut leaf and rattan, made in Indonesia. The sturdy weave is left in its warm natural tone, so the bowl pairs easily with wooden tables, ceramic plates and linen cloths alike.
Material and feel
Coconut leaf is a fast-renewing natural material, hand-stripped, dried and then woven over a rattan frame. The result is a piece that is light to lift but holds its shape well when filled. Small variations in colour and weave are typical of any genuinely handcrafted piece.
Where it belongs
On the kitchen counter for the daily fruit bowl, in the centre of a dining table as a still-life with apples, lemons and oranges, or on a sideboard to gather small items — bread rolls at breakfast, scarves and gloves in the hallway. The 13 cm depth holds a generous arrangement.
Care
Wipe occasionally with a soft, dry cloth or a barely damp cloth. Keep out of direct rain or prolonged damp; let the bowl dry naturally if it gets wet. Do not soak or place in the dishwasher.

A small note on each piece
Because the bowl is hand-woven, there are gentle variations in colour and weave between pieces. The natural coconut leaf may show small darker streaks, and the rattan frame may show fine knots — these are signs of a genuinely handcrafted product, not of damage.
