Vintage bent rattan piece made in Italy during the 1960s and attributed to the famous French studio Vivai del Sud. Its organic silhouette and hand-woven design create a sculptural basket that adds warmth, texture, and character to any room.
Why we love it
-
Timeless design: the bent rattan and generous handle give it presence without losing visual lightness.
-
Artisanal character: each fiber tells a story; variations and patinas are part of its charm.
-
True versatility: perfect as a magazine rack, for light blankets, as a decorative plant pot (with an inner liner), or simply as a focal point.

Why we chose this piece
At Matuta Home, we seek pieces with character, material honesty, and history. This basket embodies all of that: an Italian design from the 60s that combines functionality and formal poetry, made from natural fibers that age beautifully. It's an object that doesn't scream: it whispers style and adds a layer of warm texture that makes spaces feel lived-in and authentic.
