Basket Collection

designed by Alessandro Busana

Be enveloped.
Be enwrapped.
Just add you.
Or them.
Anyone, in fact …

Sculptural, decorative and appealing … it’s a Basket Chair. An armchair, characterized by its elegant sculptural composition, based on alternating full and empty space, conferring a strong personality. Rich, yet all the while, delicate.

The Basket chair is inspired by a traditional wicker container, from which the designer extrapolated principal structural lines. His result: the creation of a new decorative object; a comfortable “container to sit in”, and an object capable of defining its surrounding environment, thanks to the rhythmic spatial play that creates volume from the removal of content.

The possibility to use several types of bases gives Basket great versatility. Basket can be made stackable, mobile, used indoors or outdoors, and thanks to the characteristic voids in its shell, the seat can be easily upholstered, creating an delightful contrast between hard plastic and softer upholstery materials.
