Laundry basket S, M / Pine / EST 330722 エストニア/パイン ランドリーバスケット S・M 2サイズ
This basket is made from pine, a type of wood. Pine is a coniferous tree commonly found in Europe and North America, known for being easy to work with. 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.
On this page, we introduce a laundry basket made from this pine, available in two sizes: S and M.
Both sizes are made in the same way. They are woven in a regular crisscross pattern using wide, thinly sliced strips.The pine used has no knots, allowing its beautiful grain to be seen clearly.It has a powerful presence, as if woven directly from solid wood, yet the surface feels smooth to the touch.Here, the rim is seen from above. When forming the edge, a small flat surface of about 1 cm is first created before folding it back. This process allows the thin wooden strips to be woven without splitting them.Handles are attached on both sides, as shown here. They are made by twisting fibers from birch wood. The handles are finished by wrapping them around the first row of strips.This shows the outside of the base. It forms a clean checkered pattern.The maker’s initials are written in one corner.The slightly flared opening makes it easy to take items out. The two sizes can also be nested inside each other for storage, as shown here.This is the S size.It is large enough to hold a day’s laundry for one or two people.This is the M size.It is large enough to hold a day’s laundry for two to three people.
Having baskets in different sizes also allows you to use them according to the type or amount of laundry. For example, items that need to be placed in mesh laundry bags or washed separately can be kept in the smaller basket. We also recommend using separate baskets for children and adults, or for men and women, according to your family’s needs.
It can also be used to store toys and blankets. Beyond its use as a laundry basket, it looks useful for many purposes around the home, such as storing folded towels and clothes or keeping tools together.
Please take a look at this short video to get a sense of the natural texture of the baskets in sizes S and M.
Please check the dimensions carefully and choose whichever size you prefer.
—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 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.
