This tall hamper is made from soft rope laid in rows, with a rope handle rising on each side of the rim. It holds a full load of laundry and looks good enough to leave standing in the open, so the clothes have somewhere to go that suits the room.
Stand it in the corner of the bedroom or next to the bath, and the shirts, jeans and towels from the day have one place to land. The ribbed rope and the pair of handles give it the look of a piece you picked out on purpose, with laundry as its job.
65 liters inside, and a handle on each side for the walk to the washer
There is space for 65 liters, which takes a full load of clothes, a stack of bath towels or a couple of spare blankets. The walls support themselves. Empty or packed up to the rim, it keeps its shape in the corner.
On wash day, take hold of both handles and carry everything to the machine in one trip. Between loads it folds down, so it takes up less room when you are not using it.
Row after row of soft rope, in a gentle barrel shape
Each row of rope rests on the row below and is stitched to it, all the way up from the base. At a distance the walls show as fine level ribs. Step closer and the texture of the rope comes through, along with the small stitches that run along every seam.
The outline is a soft barrel rather than a straight tube. It widens a little through the middle and narrows again toward the top and the bottom, which gives it a rounder, calmer shape than the hard corners of a plastic bin.
Both handles are loops of the same rope, stitched flat to the outside just under the rim and standing a few inches clear of it. It looks right next to a bed, among the towels in a bathroom, or beside the washer in the laundry room.
Tan, White or Black, to suit the room it lives in
Tan is a light, warm sand shade that sits easily with pale wood floors, linen and oatmeal tones. White is clean and soft, and keeps a bright bedroom or bathroom feeling calm and uncluttered.
Black is the bold one. It makes a strong dark shape against light floors and white bedding. Any of the three gives the laundry a home of its own.
