I am a Large Bamboo Zaru Tray. From a crisp bed of lettuce to household essentials, I bring structure and lay it all out for you.
There’s a certain ease that comes with having these bamboo baskets around the home. Whether I’m filling a bowl with fruit for the counter or setting a tray out with bread and spreads for guests, they always find a way to blend seamlessly into my dining and kitchen routines. Designed by Kohchosai Kosuga, these baskets are inspired by the traditional take-zaru drainers used in Japanese kitchens, often for preparing and eating soba noodles or preparing produce but, have been reimagined to be as versatile as they are beautiful. Each piece is densely woven for durability yet feels incredibly lightweight, making them just as practical for pantry storage as they are for dining or holding household objects. Plus, bamboo’s natural antimicrobial properties make them an excellent choice for food-related uses. Woven baskets bring so much charm to everyday moments—sturdy, useful, and always there when I need them.
