Picnic Basket M / Willow / LTU 140517-1 リトアニア/やなぎ ピクニックバスケット M
This is a picnic basket.
It is woven from peeled willow—strips made by removing the outer bark of the willow branch.
The peeled willow sourced from Lithuania is known for its gentle, pale color.
Under natural light, it reflects a bright yet soft glow, giving the basket a warm and delicate appearance.
The shape widens gently from the top toward the bottom.This is the view from the vertical angle. You can see how the form gently expands as it flows downward.The willow rods are used just as they are—without splitting—woven one by one in a neat, precise sequence.The rim is finished with a braided trim, giving the basket a touch of European charm.The handles are made by using two thicker willow rods as the core and wrapping them with finer willow. They feel gentle in the hand, with very little wobble, giving a stable and comfortable grip.The connection between the handles and the basket is reinforced by crossing additional willow strips in an X-shaped wrap after the initial binding, giving it extra strength and durability.The base is woven with a tightly packed pattern, reflecting the traditional and sturdy construction commonly seen in European willow basketry.The base has a beautifully shaped oval form.At times, you may notice slight splits, cracks, or small protrusions in the wicker, as shown in the photo. These are natural characteristics of the material and not considered defects. We kindly ask for your understanding. (Photo shown is from Polish willow work.)
Many people may associate baskets with spring and summer, but those made in colder countries like Lithuania also pair beautifully with autumn and winter outfits. For example, you can take it out with a warm stole or muffler for a seasonal outing.
The width is about the same as that of an adult woman’s shoulders.As its name “picnic basket” suggests, you can place a lunch box, a water bottle, and your essentials inside and head to a park or any spot where the air feels pleasant.It also works wonderfully as a daily market basket for groceries, fresh produce, or bread.Its sturdy, well-built construction makes it suitable for everyday use as well.
Because the base flares slightly outward, the basket sits with a natural steadiness when placed on a surface, and when held, you can feel the reassuring stability of its solid construction.
Indoors, it can be used as a storage basket for small items or fabrics, and it also looks lovely holding dried flowers.
The rim is finished with a three-strand braid, giving the piece a distinctly European character. We hope you will enjoy using it for daily outings and shopping.
