Baskets Containers

Track Baskets

Would you like a few metal baskets for your books, magazines, toys, or towels? Or, how about for all that soon-to-arrive fall firewood? The metal ‘tracks’ of these baskets give a visual pattern of small squares when empty and a diagonal pattern when full. Choose from four different sizes and three color shades.

Mail Slot Bowl by Dan Sjogren

No matter how neat and clutter free we attempt to be, there’s still a fair amount of mail, keys, and miscellany that follow us through our front doors. To conquer this choas, consider the Mail Slot Bowl* by Dan Sjogren. It will keep your most recent paper correspondence lined up neatly in a row. Will it force you to take stock of which documents go to the recycle bin and which go to the filing drawer? Eh, maybe. It also has a reasonably sized bowl to park your keys, which might mean you’ll never lose them again. (We can hope.)

Ekua Half Donut Dish

Need a home for those extra bits and bobs? Keep them in this ceramic half donut dish, as its satin glaze with raw bottom gives just enough specialness (it is hand thrown by Sara Ekua Todd, after all). It may be perfect for your entryway console (keys, coins) or your wardrobe dresser (watch, jewelry).

HAY Laundry Basket

Would laundry be less of a chore with these stackable baskets from HAY? Of course it would. Plus, the graphic lines and off-white shade would be just at home in other areas of the house- perhaps in the living room or playroom to corral toys?

The BOX

We all know how handy a box can be, and this one by Yenwen Tseng for NakNak is made of perforated sheet metal, so you won’t mind leaving it out for all to see. Stack a couple on their sides for a side table (see below), or line them up for more permanent organizational goals.

Simple Storage Containers

If your dry goods storage is depressing, have I got the cure for you. These are glass containers with a rounded wood or cork top- there’s absolutely nothing complicated or fussy about them. Isn’t that appealing? Use them in the kitchen or bathroom for storage, or as a terrarium (fun!) as the retailer suggests.

Smart Blur Storage Box

These steel storage boxes with matte glass lids are just the thing for those odds and ends without a home. The blurry glass tops disguise the contents just enough to hide any chaos, while the subtle hues on the inside padded surface show through and provide a soft landing pad for hard things.

Flange Vessels

Ooo, these vessels are want-worthy. Maybe plant a few cacti for an impressive grouping, or use the bowls as a gathering spot for keys and mail. In any case, you’d do well to get a few, say, three or all five, so you can make a modern terra-cotta statement somewhere within your home. Or perhaps even on your patio?

La Savoie Book Box

Don’t have a safe? You could hide your valuables safely away from prying eyes and sticky fingers in a “mysterious” hollow book. I’ve tried making one of these before; it took a long time to cut out the inner area of pages and it took a lot of glue to make the pages stick together properly. Save yourself the trouble and get one of these for $10.

Slide Storage Box

This storage box is pretty neat. Its three drawers can be stacked or separated, or, to see everything, just slide them all out in a stepped arrangement.

Multi Basket

Is it time for a picnic? I think so, especially if you had this basket from Danish brand Menu. It’s a sort of hybrid between a basket and tray, with two air-tight containers with bamboo lids, two cooling pads, and a felt liner. Stick the cooling pads in the freezer before you head out to keep your food cool. It’s like a bento-box-basket, isn’t it? You could, of course, also use it off-duty around the house (as shown in last image) to corral all manner of odds and ends; there’s no need to keep it just for outdoor activities.
