Round Basket

Origin: Italy

Basket in 18/10 stainless steel with edge decorated using the steel plate cold-pressing technique. Mirror polished. Clotet, who is especially active in architecture but who has also made a number of interesting designs of objects, was fascinated by the playful crumpling of a tray in silver paper and reproduced the effect in a successful mini-series of trays and baskets, in which the crumpled edge is achieved using a complex technique of cold-pressing in a single operation. Round basket with scalloped edge and handles in steel mirror polished.

Size: H 5.7 cm, Dia 28.8 cm.
