Mara Woven Pet Bed Basket
Handcrafted by Outdoors furniture in 005, Karen, Nairobi, Kenya
The Mara Woven Pet Bed Basket is a woven pet bed handcrafted in Kenya from sisal. Each basket is worked by hand around an oval frame, so the weave carries the small, honest variations that come from being made rather than moulded. The result is a low, open nest sized for a cat or a small dog to settle into. The frame is woven from sisal into a tight, rounded basket with a raised rim and a smooth, natural finish. Inside sits a padded cushion in a red-and-navy checked fabric that follows the curve of the wall and softens the edge where a pet leans against it. The oval form is shallow at the front and higher around the back, giving a sense of enclosure without closing the bed in. This pet bed suits a living room beside the sofa, a bedroom corner, or a sunny spot near a window where an animal already likes to sleep. The warm tone of the sisal reads well against a jute rug or wooden floor, and the checked cushion adds a note of colour that sits comfortably with neutral upholstery. It stays low enough for older pets to step into easily. Weaving with sisal is a long-held craft across Kenya, and each basket reflects the hand of the person who made it. Buying through Kamara connects you directly with that work and with the makers who continue it, one basket at a time.
