This unique contemporary basket takes inspiration from traditional Fair Isle straw-backed chairs, reimagined through sustainable, garden-grown plant fibres. Long, broad lengths of daylily cordage are wrapped around the sides to create bold, sculptural contours. These are securely held in place with finer Iris sibirica cordage, which is threaded through a solid oak bark base and worked upward, knotting the daylily elements firmly as the vessel takes shape.
 
The natural soft green tones of the iris leaves will gently mellow and evolve over time, allowing this handcrafted piece to develop an even richer, more organic beauty as it ages.
