Organizing basket “Rectangle” [ shallow / deep ] / Birch / EST 140608 エストニア/バーチ（白樺） 整理かご レクタングル 浅・深 2種
These are organizing baskets made from birch wood.
Birch refers to trees in the Betula group in general, and refers to hardwood. It is often used as a material for furniture, pillars, beams and floors.
In Northern Europe and Russia, there is a tradition of using birch bark to make crafts, but here, instead of bark, thinly sliced wood from logs is used.
The weaving patterns of baskets traditionally used for harvesting, such as berry baskets and mushroom baskets, are the same, but the specifications and shapes differ.
Items introduced on this page are made for indoor use as storage or organizing baskets. The upper part of the woven basket is made from a thick birch board. Then, the handle holes are made by hollowing out the thick board.
This page introduces two types of long and narrow organizer baskets, shallow type and deep type.
A birch forest. According to the maker, birch trees of any age can be used to make baskets once they reach a certain length.The basketpart is made first, and then the rim is attached to finish it off.The makers are careful to weave the baskets, saying, “In order to complete a good basket, there is no room for carelessness in any of the processes.”They have continued to make baskets in many different shapes in order to meet the needs of their customers. The makers say that the most rewarding thing is when they receive the baskets and the customers are happy with them.It is made by weaving thinly sliced strips of birch in an alternating diagonal pattern.The width is changed slightly, and it is woven in two layers. It has few knots and you can see a beautiful grain.It has a powerful appearance, as if the wood has been woven as it is, but when you touch it, the surface feels smooth. These two pieces are the same material, but you can feel the design just by looking at the difference in width.The wide rim is viewed from the outside. It is simply nailed in place. The nails on the inside of the basket are neatly folded in. Just to be sure, please be careful not to hurt your fingers or other parts of your body when touching the area.The rim is viewed from above. In both sizes, the thick material is firmly sandwiched to secure the weaving. It’s simple, but you don’t feel any anxiety at all.The hole for the handle is a sharp oval shape. It is large enough for an adult to put their hand in. It also serves as a design accent.The bottom is a long, rectangular shape, so it is good for storing things.Because the wood is bent to make the product, there may be some fluffing, cracking or breaking in the corners and other parts with sharp angles. Please note that this is not a defect due to the characteristics of the material.Let’s introduce them by size.This is shallow type.Even though it is a shallow type, it has sufficient storage capacity for use at home.It is a little wider than the deep type.For example, as a pot cover for a houseplant.It also goes very well with green.This is a deep type.Although it is shorter in width than the shallow type, it is deeper.For example, as a stock basket for condiments and beverages.In addition, when you lay an A4-sized sheet horizontally, it is the perfect size (a clear file will also fit, but the edges may be slightly bent), so you can also store your work tools.
Both types are perfect for lining with kitchen paper and using as a storage basket for vegetables, root vegetables and fruit. The texture of birch goes very well with the colors of fruit and vegetables, and it enhances the atmosphere of whatever you put inside.
Keeping footwear, towels, blankets and other cloth items in it indoors also creates a nice ambience.
The handles are not sticking out, so they look good lined up on a shelf. Having the handles hollowed out makes them very convenient for taking things in and out of the shelf. They can also be used as interior decoration while organizing and storing things.
Please use it in places where you see it often or where you often take things in and out. Check the size carefully and choose the size you like.
__Estonia: Making Birch Baskets__
In Estonia, baskets have been traditionally made from pine trees for over 200 years.
On the other hand, there are also baskets made from birch wood that have been given a more stylish finish by adding design elements to the traditional basket-making techniques used by their ancestors.
At this workshop, which has been in business for over 20 years, a small team of highly skilled craftspeople, centered around a single family, work together to produce high-quality baskets made from birch wood on a daily basis.
Guided by the principles of Scandinavian design – simplicity, minimalism and practicality – they continue to create new specifications and sizes that are suited to the modern age, as well as updating traditional berry baskets and mushroom baskets for the modern age.
The stable finish and its elegant, refined texture are easy to incorporate into modern living, and it can play two roles: practical and interior.
