Modernist Wood and Suede-Stitched Basket - 20th Century

A finely crafted modernist basket, composed of paneled wood joined by distinctive suede cross-stitching. The octagonal form emphasizes clean geometry and handworked detail, with visible leather lacing providing both structural integrity and a decorative element.

The warm wood surface pairs elegantly with the tactile quality of the suede stitching, evoking a balance of rustic craftsmanship and refined modern design. Functional as a wastebasket, planter sleeve, or decorative catchall, the piece speaks to mid-20th century and contemporary traditions of natural material use and artisanal detailing.

Unmarked, the basket’s understated yet sculptural presence makes it an ideal accent for interiors ranging from Scandinavian modern to eclectic, bohemian, or minimalist spaces.
