Fresh-Cut Flower Basket

In fine artisan hands the long open end of the Fresh-Cut Flower Basket is woven to a bed to hold delicate blooms. Nature springs to light with the single loop handle wrapped into the body to carry the weight while the handhold at the closed head allows a second hand to steer.

A small-town girl of seven rides her beach bike barefoot while holding tight to the flower basket overflowing with lilacs for her grandmother. Nearing gran’s cottage, she hears Nina Simone pour her heart out from the old turntable; the singer skipping over scratches in the vinyl…and I’m feeling good.

Woven by skilled hands using only natural rattan, the patina of this piece is intended to evolve. Time, light, and weather will gently transform it, lending character that cannot be rushed or replicated.
