Dimensions: height 19 cm, diameter 60 cm.

The subtle variation in colour within the weave and the visible binding points along the rim give the basket added rhythm and character.

The form is simple and functional, yet highly decorative at the same time. Beautiful for displaying fruit, nuts, books, or textiles, or simply as a sculptural object on a table, low cabinet, or open shelf. The combination of warm bamboo, handmade structure, and restrained lines allows this piece to fit effortlessly into a calm, natural interior.

In very good condition in proportion to its age, with normal signs of age and light wear consistent with the material.

A particularly atmospheric and highly usable piece with a strong wabi-sabi character. See less
