Maranao Basket

Handcrafted with a dense, corded weave, this versatile Maranao-inspired basket combines rugged durability with an organic aesthetic perfect for any high-traffic foyer. Its tall, tapered silhouette is structurally reinforced to neatly organize everything from umbrellas and yoga mats to tall dried botanicals. Complete with integrated heavy-duty handles, it serves as a sophisticated, earthy "catch-all" that brings both order and artisanal warmth to your home’s entryway.

The Maranao, known as the "People of the Lake," are a predominantly Muslim ethnic group native to the region surrounding Lake Lanao on the island of Mindanao. They are celebrated for their sophisticated cultural heritage, particularly the Okir design—an intricate flowing motif found in their woodcarvings, textiles, and metalwork. Beyond their craftsmanship, the Maranao are famous for the Darangen, a UNESCO-recognized epic poem, and their unique traditional architecture like the Torogan royal houses.
