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.
