 A round woven space that can be folded and stored, including a palm frond serving as a handle. Its simplicity makes it special—just a surface and a handle and you’ve got yourself a basket.

The basket can be placed on a serving table to hold bread loaves and baguettes, filled with fruit as a dining table centerpiece or even put on the floor for newspapers.

Handmade by Basketweaver David Grushko.

I make functional baskets from my workshop in a village north of Jerusalem. I never use prefabricated materials. I gather the Palm fronds, treat them, let them set and then weave a beautiful piece for the perfect home.

The Basket is made from the finest natural materials. The Palm tree branches grow in Israel at the Jordan Valley. I collect them in the autumn, I treat the fronds and keep them dry and warm for 6 months before I start to weave the branches into a functional piece of art.
