Artisan Rectangular Vault | Handwoven Cane Storage Box with Lattice Lid | GrassCrafts

The Artisan Rectangular Vault — A Handwoven Cane Box for the Objects That Define You

There is a category of object that exists not merely to store, but to honour. The Artisan Rectangular Vault is one such object. Hand-braided over several days by master artisans in rural India, its lattice lid and precisely structured rectangular form bring geometric order and organic warmth to any surface they occupy.

At 8" × 5" × 2.8", it is sized with intention — generous enough to hold the objects that matter most, refined enough to sit on a lacquered desk, a marble nightstand, or a bespoke dressing table without demanding attention it hasn’t earned.

Cane: A Carbon Story in Every Braid

Cane (rattan) is one of the fastest-growing plants on earth, sequestering carbon throughout its growth cycle at rates that outpace most timber species. When harvested sustainably and woven entirely by hand — without industrial machinery, synthetic adhesives, or fossil-fuel-derived finishes — it becomes one of the most carbon-efficient materials in the luxury home and accessories market.

Choosing this vault means:

• 85–90% lower embodied carbon compared to petroleum-derived synthetic storage alternatives
• Biogenic carbon storage — cane actively sequesters CO₂ during its growth cycle
• 100% biodegradable and fully compostable at end of life — zero microplastics, zero landfill burden
• Manual craftsmanship — no energy-intensive industrial machinery, no fossil-fuel-powered production
• Supporting artisan livelihoods built on near-zero-emission, community-based craft economies

Crafted for Those Who Choose with Precision

• 100% natural cane (rattan) — sustainably harvested, chemical-free, biodegradable
• Lattice lid — hand-braided with geometric precision, functional and sculptural
• Rectangular form — 8" L × 5" W × 2.8" H — sized for the objects that define a considered life
• 200g — lightweight yet structurally sound
• Hand-braided over several days — no assembly lines, only the rhythmic precision of hand and fibre
• Each piece is unique — variation in weave is the signature of authentic craft

What It Holds
