This contemporary basket border was designed in 1997 by Stanislaw Dziubak, since i saw this border i fell in love with it and have been experimenting with different forms ever since. I recently began placing the side stakes as close together as i possibly can , in order to create as fine a weave as possible. I love how the colours of the willow pass diagonally across the surface of the basket to give a painterly finish.
The willow is grown organically here in King’s Cliffe by my husband Kirk. This basket contains Brittany Blue, Packing Twine, Dicky Meadowes and Harrisons willows and has a green handle.
Originally designed as a non-functional basket, some customers who buy these baskets do find a use for them.
Dimensions: H49cm x W30cm
