WIKT – a picnic basket

WIKT – a picnic basket

Wicker, birch wood, rope

WIKT is a reinterpretation of a classic picnic basket. It combines several functions, you can carry food in it, but at the same time serve them in a aesthetic way during a picnic. At home it can be used to store food. The contrast between a textural wicker basket and a smooth, simple wooden element emphasizes and enhances the structure of braided lines and wickerwork. The form has been designed to intuitively transform and change functions. The central spindle with a handle allows you to carry an open or a closed basket. The handle, which is also a cotter, makes it possible to lock the basket on a wooden base.

WIKT is a basket that encourages you to taste life in a SLOW style. We can disconnect from the network, take WIKT to the nearest park, meet friends in the real world and enjoy the reality together.
