Lidded Basket Quartet with Woven Lounge - Circle of Comfort & Containment – Enkito e Oltau (Step of Gathering).

More than decor—this arrangement is a woven invocation of rest, rhythm, and ancestral care.

Introducing the Enkito e Oltau Circle of Comfort & Containment: a cozy indoor ensemble featuring four round, lidded baskets in natural fibers, each adorned with distinct patterns and earthy tones. Set atop a wooden surface and surrounded by cushioned wicker chairs, throws, and stacked woven accents, the scene evokes ceremonial layering and cultural storytelling. Designed for boutique interiors, gifting rituals, or sacred hosting, this collection transforms containment into comfort and texture into tradition.

Artisan Connection:

Handwoven by cooperatives in Nyeri, Kenya, the baskets are shaped from sisal and baobab fiber using coiling and plaiting techniques that reflect Maasai shield symbolism and seasonal rhythm. The surrounding furniture and textiles—crafted from rattan, cotton, and grevillea wood—add breath and grounding, anchoring the space in visual and spiritual clarity.
