Vintage Bentwood Basket - Scandinavia, 1970s
Couldn't load pickup availability
A light and airy bentwood basket with a looping, flower-like pattern that gives the piece an almost graphic silhouette. The thin wooden strips curve and cross with gentle precision, meeting at a solid round base. It’s simple, functional, and full of that warm, natural mood we love in vintage wooden pieces.
The maker is unknown, but the construction and materials point toward Scandinavian production - probably birch, bent and shaped in a small workshop. Clean, honest work with a handmade feel.
A lovely catch-all for fruit, bread, or keys. Also great as a decorative piece on its own - it casts beautiful shadows on the table, especially in softer evening light.

Note on bentwood craft
Bentwood work has long roots in the Nordic countries, where birch is shaped with steam and gentle pressure into lightweight, functional forms. The technique creates pieces that are both tough and visually light - practical for everyday use, but always with a soft, handmade character.
