The iron basket is both sculptural and attractively airy in appearance, and it is a perfect centerpiece to a table setting, an esthetic bread or fruit basket, or a striking decorative object in its own right.

Designer
Antonino Sciortino is an Italian artist known for his elaborate metalwork as well as his spectacular career as a dancer and choreographer. A native of Palermo, Italy, Sciortino began practicing molding metal at his brother's blacksmith's workshop when he was no older than eight, and even though the following decades took him in a different direction – dancing – Sciortino returned to the furnace at a more mature age. Sciortino's simple yet sophisticated metal sculptures draw inspiration from his career as a dancer and combine the heavy, rigid material with free-slowing movement in a fascinating way.

Muuten ok, mutta metallinen kehikko pitää helisevää ääntä kun sitä liikuttelee pöydällä.
