Why it's here

Functional sculptures, made to be used every day.

From: Maine & Brooklyn, USA
Material: Natural, mature rattan

This is for the coffee table that's always collecting keys, clementines and remote controls.

The Love Basket takes its shape from the traditional Shaker cathead basket, named for bottom corners that look like little cat ears. This one is lacquered in a rich color, so it's as happy holding bread at dinner as it is corralling everyday odds and ends.

Underwater Weaving is the basket studio Brooklyn artist Erin Pollard started with her mother, Peggy, in Maine. Everything is woven by hand by the two of them and a small team.

A small basket with a big personality. Cat ears included.
