This item is a large, multi-functional storage ottoman featuring a cylindrical body with a hollow interior designed for storage. The lid is extra-thickened and sturdy enough to serve as a seat. Crafted from water hyacinth stems dyed a rich chestnut color, the piece utilizes a tight, twisted-weave technique that ensures a robust overall structure. The interior is supported by either a wooden frame or thick cardboard, encased within the woven water hyacinth exterior. The lid features an internal core—either a sponge cushion or a rigid board—and is similarly finished with a woven water hyacinth surface. The base is fitted with non-slip pads. This versatile piece can serve as a shoe-changing stool, an occasional seat beside a coffee table, or a side table for holding lamps and books; with the lid opened, it offers ample space to stow away blankets or miscellaneous items. It can also function as a sturdy base for displaying large potted plants. As a handcrafted item, its creation is a time-consuming process involving the initial construction of a structural frame, followed by the meticulous weaving of the material, circle by circle.
