Shopping Basket / Pine / EST 330713　エストニア/パイン　ショッピングバスケット　S・M　２サイズ


							





This basket is made from pine wood.
Pine is a coniferous tree commonly found in Europe and North America, known for its ease of working.
It has long been used for furniture, as well as for structural elements such as posts, beams, and flooring.


For this basket, pine sourced in Estonia is used.
According to the maker, pine that has grown for around 100 to 120 years is particularly well suited for basket making.






Here, we introduce the Shopping Basket made from this pine, available in two sizes, S and M.






Both sizes are made in almost the same way. Wide strips of thinly sliced pine are woven in a regular pattern, alternating vertically and horizontally. This shows a close-up of the weaving on the side without the handle.


It has a strong presence, as if the wood itself were woven directly. Yet when touched, the surface feels smooth and gentle.


This shows the rim viewed from the outside, where it is boldly bent to form the edge.


This view shows the inside. The rim looks almost the same as on the outside.


This view looks down at the rim from above. When the rim is folded, a very small flat surface—about 1 cm—is first created before it is turned back. By doing so, the thin strips can be woven without splitting.


Because the wood is bent firmly to about 90°, there may be slight fuzzing in some areas, but it is not noticeable to a degree that causes concern. This is not a defect, and we appreciate your understanding.


This view shows the handle from the outside. It is made by twisting the fibers of birch branches, resulting in a firm and durable construction. This is the M size.


This view shows the inside. The handle is carefully threaded through the gaps in the weave. In the M size, it passes through two rows from the top, creating a stronger connection with the basket.


This view shows the handle from a diagonal side angle. Thicker and thinner strips are combined to create a smooth line.


This is a view from above. The base is rectangular, while the opening has gently rounded corners, forming an oval shape.


This shows the basket turned upside down. The pine used for this basket has no knots, allowing the natural grain of the wood to be seen clearly.


Strips of roughly the same width are woven together in both the vertical and horizontal directions.


This shows one of the outer corners. It has been neatly folded and woven, and bears the maker’s signature or initials.


There may be marks that look like light scuffs running against the grain, but these are not defects.






We will now introduce each size, starting with the S size.


It is a charming, compact size.


Among pine baskets, this is a compact type that seems easy to use for storing small household items.


It is a size that feels light and comfortable even when placed on your lap.


It is just the right size for a quick trip to a nearby convenience store.


It holds a lunch box and a soup jar for one person.


This is the M size.


In terms of size and capacity, it is large enough that the basket fits neatly inside a supermarket shopping basket.






As a rough guide, it is a size that seems suitable for shopping for two to three days.


It holds items such as pasta, bread, vegetables, and boxed wine.






The smaller S size is perfect for short outings or quick shopping trips around the neighborhood.




Both the S and M sizes work well as shopping baskets, and their presence is pleasing even when set down, 
making them suitable as storage baskets in the living room, study, or bedroom.



Please take a look at the short video to see the texture and feel of the S and M sizes. 


Even everyday groceries can feel quite different when carried in this basket. 


Please check the size details carefully and choose the size that suits you best.




— Pine Basketry from Avinurme Village, Estonia —


In Avinurme, a village located in eastern Estonia near Lake Peipus—the largest lake in the country, close to the Russian border—
baskets have been made from pine (plants of the pine family) for more than 200 years.


In this village, there is a family-run workshop that has been making baskets for over 25 years, using pine harvested in Estonia. 
The baskets made there are remarkably simple, woven from wide strips of wood, allowing the natural character of pine to be fully appreciated. 
Twisted handles made from birch wood are also used, giving the baskets a distinctive look and color palette typical of Northern Europe.


This workshop works with as many as twenty makers. 
In order to maintain consistent quality and provide feedback to the makers, baskets made by those outside the family are marked with initials on the base.


Designed in response to everyday life and to customers’ requests, their baskets are widely appreciated not only throughout Estonia but also in other regions, 
valued for their simple design and practical nature.


With such a wide range of styles and sizes, you may well find a shape or size that feels just right for you.
