ABOUT PRODUCTID 10148
This set of three baskets from 1960s Czechoslovakia represents utilitarian mid-century modern design, where functionality is paired with a distinctly modern aesthetic. The set comprises a rectangular basket in an intense, matte orange tone, accompanied by two square baskets: one nearly transparent, in a milky pale yellow with a semi-matte finish, and the other in a saturated, sunny yellow with a subtle glossy sheen. All pieces are made from uniform, lightweight plastic with smooth, seamless sides that are pleasant to the touch. The signature openwork construction, widely spaced vertical ribs, and softly rounded corners impart an airy, spacious quality to the ensemble. The baskets show no signs of use—no cracks, chips, or discoloration are present. Condition: excellent, with no evidence of wear.The forms and color palette of this set echo the 1960s, a time when color and innovative materials defined a new language for everyday objects. These baskets seem to narrate an era when plastic became a symbol of optimism and accessibility—when light freely filtered through openwork sides, and geometric simplicity with bold hues invited playful experimentation in the home. The objects appear to float lightly above the surface, still ready for new scenes in daily life.These baskets could be used for serving bread, fruit, or snacks on a kitchen counter or dining table, where their colors become a vivid accent. In a collector’s arrangement, they may be paired with other plastic accessories from the era—colorful containers, coasters, or trays—to achieve a strong mid-century modern effect. They would also work well with light wood, simple ceramics, and textiles in graphic patterns, emphasizing the visual lightness and freedom that defined the domestic spirit of the 1960s.
