This is a small hand-woven basket 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.

On this page, we will introduce a basket called a “Strawberry basket” locally.

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.

In addition, because it is easy to take with you,
use it as a basket to carry books you are reading, glasses, cream, etc.
between the living room and bedroom.

For families with baby children, you can put in a set of disposable diapers,
or other daily necessities such as medicines and thermometers that you use often.
The color of the birch wood makes it suitable for both Tatami(Japanese floor mat) and wooden floors.

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.

This shallow basket has a non-oppressive feel, but it has plenty of capacity.
Please enjoy it in your favorite way, indoors or outdoors.

__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.
