This mid-century woven basket from the 1960s exemplifies the period’s utilitarian approach enriched by playful detail and bold color. The construction consists entirely of regularly and densely woven plastic fibers, yielding a smooth yet subtly textured surface that replicates the look of traditional natural materials while providing enhanced durability. The barrel-shaped, hourglass-inspired form expands at the center and tapers toward both the rounded base and rim. The top edge is reinforced with a tightly spiraled green plastic cord, while the base edge features a rattan-like effect, lending stability and a decorative accent. The dominant palette includes vibrant grass green and natural beige, accented by deep brown, yellow, and vivid red, combined in a dynamic woven band that wraps horizontally around the widest part of the body. No metal fittings or handles are present, emphasizing the object’s clean lines and sculptural silhouette. The basket is in excellent condition—showing no visible signs of wear and retaining its original, saturated colors and structural integrity, characteristic for well-preserved pieces from the mid-20th century. This basket carries the spirit of the 1960s, a decade when daily objects were infused with color, inventiveness, and a seamless dialogue between craft and technology. Here, the logic of traditional weaving is translated into plastic, guaranteeing longevity and a certain lightness. The interplay of bold hues and geometric shape seems to reflect
