Thirty-four inches of hand-woven rattan, shaped as a tall arched panel with a deep pocket across the lower third, hung flat against the wall from a keyhole at the top. It is the sort of thing that used to live in a farmhouse hallway holding gloves and letters, and at this scale it works as a piece of wall sculpture that happens to be useful. The weave is tight and even across the back and looser through the rim, so light catches the edge differently from the field. Browse more home decor.

Styling
Fill it with something tall and dry — pampas, eucalyptus, bare branches — and it stops being storage and becomes the only thing you need on that wall. Fill it with mail and it disappears into the routine of the house, which is also fine. Either way, hang it high enough that the pocket sits around waist height, roughly 40 inches to the base.
Natural rattan is a texture, not a colour, so it sits against a painted wall, wallpaper or exposed brick without needing to match anything. In an entry it does the job of a console in a hallway too narrow for one. In a bedroom it holds a throw. Beside a back door it takes the leashes and the sun hats. Keep the wall around it clear so the silhouette reads — this is a shape, and shapes need space. More in decor and more, living room furniture and bedroom furniture.
Care
- Dust with a dry, soft brush, working with the weave rather than across it
- Wipe with a barely damp cloth and dry immediately — never soak rattan
- Keep out of direct sun and away from a heat source, which dries and cracks the cane
- Not for outdoor or covered-porch use; damp will loosen the weave
- Mount through the keyhole into a stud or a proper anchor before loading it
- Natural rattan darkens over time, unevenly and pleasantly
