This is a tissue box made from natural palm leaves. Here we introduce the “Natural” type.
The basket is woven from natural palm leaves, giving it a soft cream color.The tissue opening is lined with fabric sewn in from the inside.The lid closes by fitting over the basket base. By adjusting how deeply the lid is placed, you can slightly vary the height.The upper half of the basket, where the lid overlaps, has a simple plain weave, while the lower half is woven with a triangular pattern.Occasionally, you may notice a stain-like mark on the surface, but this is a natural occurrence and not a defect. It does not affect use.
When the palm leaf catches the light, it reflects a soft glow and gentle sheen —giving this piece a quiet sense of elegance.
Light and softly textured, the natural cream tone brings a pure and unadorned impression.
It also adds a bright, refined touch to any interior space.
— Basket named “Kottan” —
Baskets made from palm leaves have traditionally been crafted in Chettinad, a region in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
They were originally used as vessels to carry offerings or gifts during rituals, and were often given to friends and guests as a sign of invitation or agreement.
Though the craft once came close to disappearing, it has been revived through the efforts of local people and nonprofit organizations. Today, the income from these baskets provides an additional source of earnings for women working in agriculture.
This particular Kottan series features original designs by Suno & Morrison, a brand based in Japan.
Each basket is developed in close collaboration with the artisans —adjusting size, weaving techniques, and color combinations together.
