LAUNDRY BASKET - Laundry basket in natural cane and teak by Phantom Hands
Description
Laundry Basket - The 'Laundry Basket' - or 'Dirty Linen Basket' was originally designed for use in the MLA Hostels, residential quarters of elected lawmakers of the Punjab state. Laundry baskets were made with either a solid wood top or a woven cane top. Our re-edition has woven cane on five sides including the top flap. The outer frame and bottom of the laundry basket are made of solid teak. The top flap opens with the help of a brass latch and hinges. The basket was designed by the Chandigarh design team in the same style as the seating furniture. However, they may have taken inspiration from vintage laundry baskets of similar style, dating back to the 19th century, that were commonly used in southern India, Burma, etc.Finishes:We offer this product in a choice of Natural Teak or Dark Stain. For Natural Teak finish, the wood is sanded to smoothness and transparent wood polish and sealer are applied with a soft cloth to bring out the natural golden brown colour of teak. For Dark Stain, a coat of teak stain is hand applied to give the wood a darker, deeper shade. Please note, each batch of teak is unique and actual shade may vary a little from the reference image.We offer a choice of two types of cane weaving patterns for this product - Diamond weave and Cross weave. Diamond weave is more robust and marginally more long lasting than Cross weave. We recommend Diamond weave, especially if usage is expected to be high. We also recommend using a seat pad to increase longevity and prevent accidental breakage of cane strands. With care and good usage, cane weaves can last for several years without any breakage.Project Chandigarh is our homage to Indian Modernism, a style and philosophy of making that manifested in Chandigarh in the 1950s. Our re-editions's of these mid-century designs use the same craftsmanship and philosophy of making that was used for three decades in Chandigarh. The nuances and details that make these designs special – finger joints, curvatures, grooves – are retained while improving the pieces structurally and materially. The natural rattan cane used for the seats and backs are peeled and woven by hand, by highly skilled weavers just like in the vintage pieces.
