On a shelf by the sofa or on a side table, a square basket like this takes the loose ends of the evening: the remote that always goes missing, the magazines you keep meaning to read, a small scarf, the reading glasses. It is woven from natural plant fiber in a warm golden beige, with panels of dark knotted cord and a loop handle on two sides, so it looks like something collected over the years rather than bought for the room.

Carry it wherever the small clutter collects. In the living room it keeps the remotes and magazines together; in a child's room, the little toys that need a home by bedtime; in the bedroom, a few things from the day that are not quite laundry yet; on a bathroom shelf, cosmetics you want to see at a glance. The open top means nothing has to be unpacked to be used, and the handles let you move it from room to room as the day changes.

It comes in two sizes, both compact enough for a shelf, a desk, a dresser or a side table. The Small is 20 × 20 cm across the opening and 21 cm high; the Large is 25 × 25 cm and 23 cm high.
