Bread Basket Ø22 — Rattan

Use it with a cloth or with wrapped goods — it is not a food container.

Material

Fibre: Rattan (Calamus rotang)
Weave density: Open — visible gaps between strands. Air moves through it; small things fall through it.
Woven by hand: Yes — handwoven. Small irregularities in the pattern are the mark of that.
Dyed: No. This is the fibre's own colour, which is why it varies between batches.

Tested load

2 kg

Static load, evenly distributed, lying flat on a table. Held for 24 hours.

This is a measured figure under one stated condition, not a rating and not a guarantee. A different condition gives a different result — read how we test.

How it changes

Initial shedding: None measured. No loose fibre came off in our first-month handling.
Shade & texture: Batches vary by up to ±10 % in shade and ±5 % in size. Two of these bought a year apart will not match exactly. That is a property of the fibre, not a fault.
Shape under load: Loaded fibre takes a set. Empty it and give it a day or two and most of the shape returns. Left loaded above the tested figure, or left damp under load, the change can be permanent.
Smell when new: Almost none. A faint woody smell may be noticeable in the first few days.

Where it can live

Damp rooms: Dry rooms only. In a bathroom or an unventilated room this fibre stays damp and can grow mould.
Cleaning: Brush the weave out with a dry soft brush, then wipe with a barely damp cloth and dry at once. Not washable, not machine washable.
Heat and flame: Natural fibre burns. Keep it away from candles, hobs, heaters and fireplaces.

Not for direct food contact

Use it for packaged goods or with a cloth or liner in between. Do not put unwrapped food straight onto the weave. In Danish: kun til indpakkede fødevarer eller med serviet — ikke til direkte kontakt med uindpakkede fødevarer.

Keep away from open flame and heat

Natural fibre burns. Keep it away from candles, fireplaces, heaters, hobs and hot appliances. We make no flame-retardancy claim for any piece we sell.

Dimensions

Outer: 220 mm diameter
Inner: 194 mm diameter — this is the space you actually get. Measure what you want to put in it against this figure, not the outer one.
Height: 70 mm
Tolerance: ±5 % on every dimension. Hand-woven pieces are not machined.

Origin

Designed in: Denmark
Made in: Indonesia

We list these separately on purpose. The design is Danish; the weaving is not, and we will not imply otherwise.
