Black Flat Lid Basket — Large | Handwoven Millet Grass | Wolof Women Artisans | Made in Senegal | by Mbare & Powered by People

Every basket tells a story. This one begins in rural Senegal, where Wolof women weave millet grass and black plastic thread into baskets of quiet, enduring beauty — a craft passed down through generations, now finding its place in homes around the world. The Black Flat Lid Basket by Mbare is the result: a large, flat-lidded storage basket with a minimalist, contemporary look that feels at home in practically any room and earns a second glance from every guest who sees it.

The millet grass gives the basket its natural structure and warmth. The black plastic thread woven through it adds strength, durability, and the clean, graphic quality that makes this basket as much a design object as a storage solution. The flat lid keeps contents out of sight and the surface clean — a detail that separates this basket from the ordinary. At 20” x 16”, it is generously sized for real use: a hamper for towels in the bathroom, a home for throw pillows in the living room, a catch-all in the entryway for scarves, hats, and the things that need a place to land.

Pair it with the smaller Black Basket from the same collection for a layered, intentional focal point in any room. The kind of storage that doesn’t need to be hidden.
