(PRE-ORDER) Gree - Basket

** This product is made-to-order and may take 3-4 weeks to deliver **

The "Gree" basket is weaved from natural palm leaves and recycled paper, providing a sustainable and fashionable way to organize your house. While the natural materials add a touch of rustic appeal, the large design is ideal for everyday usage, such as a laundry basket, toy box or simple storage crate. Made of stacked rings with a quirky tilt, its sturdy construction guarantees that it can survive normal wear and tear, while the linen bag adds a softer touch and a practical solution for maintenance and upkeep. This handmade product displays the elegance of contemporary design and the skill of local craftswomen.

Dimensions: 50 x 50 x 90 cm

This product has been developed in collaboration with CLUTSER in BICEIA project, Bridging Inequality through Creative Economy in Informal Areas. (BICEIA) is a project that integrates the designers and manufacturers in Cairo’s formal economy with artisans in informal areas. This builds upon CLUSTER’s research and social design work, along with its existing network with local communities, proposing a framework that ensures fair compensation for independent craftspeople. The project, based on a community of craftspeople in Fayoum, began with a series of introductory and capacity-building workshops, before undertaking a collaborative design process between high-end designers and local artisans, drafting prototypes and iterations to eventually reach the final pieces displayed in the Tajreeda exhibition. BICEIA fosters collaborations that develop skills, market products, and connect creative talent to income opportunities in broader distribution networks.
