Formelia wicker firewood storage basket with jute trim and handles TheWickerStories

A rectangular wicker basket in a dark brown shade delights with careful craftsmanship and elegance. Tapered sides add lightness, and a dense, even weave provides stability. Inside there is a natural jute lining that protects the contents. The edges are solidly finished, and practical handles woven into the structure are placed on both sides.

It is made from responsibly sourced European willow without plastic or unnecessary chemicals. Each piece is hand‑woven by experienced artisans, so it may subtly differ from the photo — a sign of genuine handicraft. Wicker is lightweight yet durable, making the basket easy to carry and safe for everyday use. The natural material is long‑lasting and breathable, and the eco‑friendly production supports good household habits.

As a firewood basket it works excellently: it fits logs, split wood and kindling, and the jute interior traps bark fragments and dust. Cutout handles make carrying easier even when heavily loaded, and the stable base stands firmly on the floor. High sides help keep things tidy, even when moving smaller pieces. Place it by the fireplace or wood stove to have a supply of wood at hand.

Its versatile character makes it ideal for storing fruit, vegetables or nuts, and for stylishly displaying bread in paper wraps. The open construction allows you to quickly check the contents, and the natural look complements modern and classic interiors. The lining is not removable and is not suitable for machine washing, but it is easy to care for — simply vacuum or brush regularly, and for minor stains wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent and leave to dry.

Choose a durable, hand‑woven basket made from European willow — a functional, eco‑friendly and beautiful solution for your home.
