This is a tissue box made from natural palm leaves. We introduce the “Insert Natural” type.
The body of the box is woven from raw palm leaves, retaining their natural cream color. You can also see a subtle, glossy sheen on the surface.Now for the lid: this “Insert” type is woven by layering two slightly different widths of palm leaf strips—one natural, and one dyed black. The black strips are palm leaves dyed with chemical dye.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.Occasionally, a narrow strip on the upper layer may lift slightly near the edge. If it bothers you, you can trim the lifted part with scissors—just like you would with a loose thread on clothing. Please note that this is not considered a defect, and we appreciate your understanding in advance.You may also notice small marks, like stains or ink smudges. These are harmless and do not affect use—they are not considered defects.
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 calm tones of natural and black allow it to blend beautifully into 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.
