The Wicker bread basket of the Danish designer Cecilie Manz resembles of its shape classic bread baskets, however differs through its extraordinary material and the manufacture.

Wicker is a basket for the daily bread. The basket has clear resemblances with typically Scandinavian baskets: wide and thin ligaments are interwoven in different directions. Only this time the basket is produced with totally other methods and materials: A durable mixture of ceramics and plastic is poured in a form to its final form. The outcome of this is the bright and hollowed form of Wicker, which emphasizes the different directions of the single ligaments.

A textile cloth of 100% cotton belongs to the basket as well, which is inserted into it and catches the crumb of the pastries.
