The BASKET

Every hand that coils raffia works differently. That's not a flaw, it's the point.

The Basket is Nineteen60's first object. A large-scale sculptural form hand-coiled by Nigerian artisans using a technique that doesn't come from a manual. It comes from watching, repeating, and understanding the material well enough to let it move the way it wants to.

The result is a form that is never quite the same twice. The folded opening shifts. The curves settle differently. The weight lands where it lands.

Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the natural tone. If dusty, brush gently with a soft dry cloth. Not suitable for wet environments. Natural raffia will develop a soft patina over time , this is a feature, not a fault.

Place it on the floor beside a sofa. In a corner with nothing else. At the foot of a bed. It doesn't need context to hold its ground but it makes everything around it more considered simply by being there.
Firm enough to use as a side table or seat. Sculptural enough that you won't want to.
