These are hand-woven baskets made from birch wood.

Birch refers to trees in the Betula group in general, and refers to hardwood. It is often used as a material for furniture, pillars, beams and floors.

In Northern Europe and Russia, there is a tradition of using birch bark to make crafts, but here, instead of bark, thinly sliced wood from logs is used.

Berry baskets and mushroom baskets are traditional household items that Estonians cannot do without.

In cold Estonia, people have traditionally harvested the blessings of the forest to help them get through the winter.
They pick berries in summer and autumn to make jam and juice,
and they pick mushrooms in autumn and winter.
Fresh mushrooms are served sautéed, and they are also pickled or made into powder for long-term storage.

On this page, we will introduce the “mushroom basket”, locally.
Three sizes: S, M and L.

You can also use it as a basket to store vegetables, root vegetables and fruit, by laying down kitchen paper or something similar.
It is also useful for carrying fruit such as strawberries and cakes that you don’t want to tip over.

Birch’s texture goes very well with the colors of fruits and vegetables,
and it enhances the atmosphere of whatever you put inside it.

It also looks good indoors, whether you use it to store footwear or to keep towels and blankets.
The color of the birch wood means it will look good on tatami(Japanese floor mat) mats or wooden flooring.

Also suitable for outdoor use, for storing tools such as scissors and gardening gloves,
or as a harvest basket. It also has a handle, so you can quickly carry all your tools.

We think this basket will look great in parks and forests.
Please check the size carefully and choose the size you like.

__Estonia: Making Birch Baskets__

In Estonia, baskets have been traditionally made from pine trees for over 200 years.

On the other hand, there are also baskets made from birch wood that have been given a more stylish finish by adding design elements to the traditional basket-making techniques used by their ancestors.

At this workshop, which has been in business for over 20 years, a small team of highly skilled craftspeople,
centered around a single family, work together to produce high-quality baskets made from birch wood on a daily basis.

Guided by the principles of Scandinavian design – simplicity, minimalism and practicality –
they continue to create new specifications and sizes that are suited to the modern age,
as well as updating traditional berry baskets and mushroom baskets for the modern age.

The stable finish and its elegant, refined texture are easy to incorporate into modern living,
and it can play two roles: practical and interior.
