Chungu Basket – Natural Storage with Soul
The Chungu Basket by Bazar Bizar is more than just a storage piece – it’s a handwoven beauty that brings warmth, texture and soul into your home. Crafted by skilled artisans in Indonesia, this spacious basket is made from two natural, eco-friendly materials: sturdy water hyacinth and flexible banana leaf. Together, they create a strong yet soft structure with a beautifully organic look and feel.
With its generous size (54 x 54 x 35 cm), the Chungu Basket is perfect for storing blankets, cushions, toys, or laundry – while adding an earthy, handmade charm to your space. Whether placed in the living room, bedroom, hallway or bathroom, it instantly adds a sense of calm and natural elegance.
Each basket is woven entirely by hand using traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations. The water hyacinth is harvested from rivers and lakes – a fast-growing plant that is often considered invasive, making it a wonderfully sustainable material when used for weaving. The banana leaves, sourced from fallen or pruned banana trees, are dried and twisted to form beautiful, strong fibres.
As with all Bazar Bizar pieces, the Chungu Basket is made under fair trade conditions – respecting both people and the planet. No two baskets are exactly the same, and that’s the beauty of it. Every little twist and weave carries the touch of the artisan’s hands.
Natural, functional, and full of character – the Chungu Basket is a timeless addition to your consciously curated home.
