Pia’s Picks: baskets that turn dirty laundry into decorative pieces
23.8.2022
Translation: Katherine Martin
Laundry baskets may be practical, but they aren’t much to look at. With this in mind, I went off in search of a well-designed alternative. Here’s what I found.
I make no secret of the fact that I have high design standards for the items in my home. That being said, I did compromise on them when I was a student – and I still have some of the results of these compromises lying around my apartment. My wire bottle opener, which breaks every cork it comes into contact with, is a prime example. However, I’ve since set out to replace these aberrations bit by bit.
Be it rattan, bamboo, walnut or jute, plenty of today’s laundry baskets are made of feather-light natural fibres instead of plastic. The wickerwork alone looks considerably more elegant than the perforated plastic of my old basket. Round designs, which mesh well with interiors on account of their smooth silhouettes, are my favourite.
*In my regular «Pia’s Picks» series, I share items from my watch list that you might like too.
