Basket Bar by Mayaro

Stories Editor's Pick Basket Bar by Mayaro

This wonderful, handmade oddity is an ingenious détournement, the hacking of an objet in order to reinterpret its function. Designed by Stefania di Petrillo & Godefroy de Virieu, and edited by Mayaro, the Basket Bar is a funky interpretation of the classic basket attached to a hot air balloon.

This bespoke piece – made of wicker and rattan on a metal framework- is hand-woven by a master craftsman who specialises in manufacturing hot air balloons. It can be used as a desk or a counter during the day, and becomes a bar when comes the night. A versatile piece of furniture, perfect for an outdoor pool house or an indoor statement piece, it invites us to an imaginary flight.

The Basket Bar won the Young Designer Price from the PAD Paris, in 2019.

Leather edging available in orange, red, blue, and brown. Bespoke dimensions upon request.

Mayaro Editions

For their first series of pieces in the Craft Editions Collection, Mayaro partnered with designers Godefroy de Virieu and Stefania di Petrillo inspired by their sensibility to gestures and the emotion which lies within hand-crafted objects. At present, de Virieu is the AD of “Petit H” collection, by Hermès. Each piece is made-to-measure, and inspired by imaginary travels: a balloon in the sky, a trip to Saturn, a walk in a chestnut forest, a visit to a jeweller’s atelier… The signature style of this first edition is the mix of natural, almost raw materials such as wicker or chestnut wood, with leather and rusted metal: all elements that become even more beautiful with the patina of time.  Other statement pieces embody the know-how of cabinet maker IOTA Element, such as the Suspended bookcase which can hide or reveal a secret window, the delicate weavings of Frédérique Lamagnère, or the ethereal yet luxurious feather fans by Duvelleroy.
