Handmade Wire Basket - Bin 16

These handmade baskets have been used by Swedish farmers and fishermen for over 90 years. Their durability, weather resistance and high level of craftsmanship has made them the ideal choice for those seeking a piece that will last forever (or at least 90 years!) Each basket is woven by hand from a single wire without the use of any welding. The maker then marks each basked as a testament to the quality of their particular piece.

The Bin series is characterized by having only one handle. This basket can be used as a standalone or wall-mounted with the Korbo Bin Hanger. The hanger is easily mounted on the wall with three screws, creating a smart and elegant wall mounted storage solution, the basket is smooth to take down and hang back up again.

Perfect for toys in the kids room and hats, gloves and scarves in the hallway! Also add the basket liner 16L for a neat and tidy look.

The Korbo baskets are available in four different materials. In addition to the original materials, galvanized steel and acid proof stainless steel, a range of baskets are made in copper and brass.

Acid proof stainless steel has a great resistance to corrosion and is often used in maritime climate. The steel gains its properties through the addition of various alloys and precious metals. The baskets will remain shiny regardless of environmental exposure.

Galvanized steel has effectively been used for more than 150 years. By adding a physical barrier of zinc to the wire, the basket is protected from corrosion and gives it a beautiful matte patina over time.

Copper is a strong, durable and corrosion resistant metal. The surface changes when exposed to the atmosphere and acquires a protective patina that eventually turns to green over an eight to ten-year period.

Brass is a binary alloy composed of copper and zinc and is valued for its corrosion resistance and attractive appearance. Over time a natural tarnish will develop on the surface of the wire giving it a beautiful patina.
