This large mid-century basket exemplifies European modernist aesthetics from the 1960s, seeking balance between functionality and the organic lightness of form. The main body is crafted from dark grey, openwork metal wire with a matte, subtly industrial finish, while the top rim consists of natural bamboo in a warm, honey-brown shade showcasing its inherent grain. Regularly spaced, lighter rattan wrappings secure the rim and introduce a rhythmic visual accent as well as a practical grip. The basket stands on four sturdy, looped wire legs that elevate and stabilize the oval form, which gently flares outward, adhering to the proportional, minimalist ideals of the era. Hand-finishing is evident in minor irregularities in the wire forming and bamboo overlaps, underscoring the uniqueness of each piece. The bamboo reveals a smooth, gently lustrous surface, while the metal mesh is evenly matte with only subtle patina and no significant damage. Condition: excellent, with minimal traces of use and no visible repairs – full authenticity retained. The basket echoes the voice of German design from the 1960s: simplicity speaks matter-of-factly here, while every detail – from the cool metal mesh to the naturally toned bamboo rim – recalls a period when modernity embraced respect for raw materials. Metal and bamboo seem engaged in a silent dialogue: industrial tension meets the softness of handwoven craft,
