Wall basket -double ring- / Pine / EST 330706-1 エストニア/パイン ウォールバスケット ダブルリング
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 “Wall Basket” made from that pine, designed to be hung on the wall. It is a substantial size, large enough to hold an A4 sheet horizontally.
The entire basket is woven in a regular crisscross pattern using wide, thinly sliced strips.It has a powerful presence, as if woven directly from solid wood, yet the surface feels smooth to the touch.On the back are two hooks for hanging on the wall, hence the name “double ring.”The pine has few knots, allowing its beautiful grain to be seen clearly.Here, the rim is seen from the outside. The edge is formed by boldly folding the strips.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.A distinctive feature of this wall basket is its two upright hooks. The hooks are made from twisted birch wood fibers.This is the view from inside the basket. Each hook is finished by wrapping it around the first row of strips.When viewed from above, it is shaped like the letter “D” of the alphabet, with a slight bulge.This is the view from the side. You can see that the basket curves outward slightly toward the front. It also looks large enough to hold a wall planter. (Please use it while keeping the weight in mind.)This shows the outside of the base. It forms a clean checkered pattern.This is a view of the outer corner. It is neatly folded and woven, and you can see the maker’s signature or initials.For keeping envelopes, printouts, letters, and direct mail that arrive each day. It is large enough to hold an A4 sheet horizontally, offering ample storage space.Frequently used stationery can be kept alongside them as well. Wall-mounted storage leaves the space below clear, giving the room a neat and pleasant feel.Here, it is hung on the wall and used to store dry food supplies such as barley tea and pasta.The basket also stands on its own, so if hanging it is not possible in your home, we think it would work well simply placed against a wall.
It can also be used to display flowers on a balcony or in the garden, though you will need to keep an eye on how much you place inside.
Placing a glass container or vase inside the basket and arranging flowers and greenery in it would also work well. Or you could enjoy arranging small planters inside.
Please take a look at this short video to get a sense of the “Wall Basket – Double Ring.”
As this is a relatively large wall basket, please check the dimensions carefully.
—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.
