Felt Storage Basket Made from Recycled PET, Handle Openings, for Blankets and Toys

The blanket has been draped over the sofa back for days

It's used every evening but has no designated spot – the cupboard is too far away, a rattan basket too bulky for the living room. This felt basket stands open next to the sofa, holding blankets, magazines, or toys, and looks like a piece of furniture rather than just a container.

What the felt construction offers in everyday life

• Folded from a single cut: The walls run seamlessly, with the folds remaining visible at the corners. This creates its structural stability – the basket stands upright without an internal frame, instead of collapsing like a fabric bag.
• Punched-out handle openings on both ends: The cutouts are directly in the material, without attached handles that could come loose. The filled basket can be moved with both hands.
• Walls drawn inward at the top: The opening is narrower than the basket's belly. Blankets and cushions stay inside instead of sliding over the edge when bumped.
• Soft felt wall: The basket can bump against a sofa leg, wall, or baseboard without leaving scratches or pressure marks – rattan and wire baskets tend to leave marks in such places over time.
• Felt made from recycled PET bottles: The fibers come from the recycling process of plastic bottles. They absorb hardly any moisture and do not shed like wool felt.
• Low net weight: The filled basket can be carried with one hand from the living room to the children's room.

Suitable for living rooms with blankets and cushions next to the sofa, for children's rooms as an open toy box, for newspapers and firewood next to the fireplace, for hallways with scarves and hats, and for offices as a tray for cables, folders, and documents.

Can the basket be cleaned if something gets on it?

Felt is absorbent, so liquids should be dabbed off immediately and not rubbed – rubbing pushes the substance deeper into the fibers. Treat stains locally with a slightly damp cloth and a little mild soap, then dab with clear water. Do not put it in the washing machine: drum movement and wetness will permanently deform the folded walls. Afterwards, let it air dry flat and completely before placing textiles back inside. Do not use in damp rooms without ventilation or outdoors.

In the end, you no longer tidy up in the evening – you just put the blanket in and you're done.
