Woven baskets have long been a favorite functional decorating piece. Not only can woven baskets add texture to a room design, but they also add simplicity, warmth, and a European sensibility. Along with aesthetic appeal, woven baskets can also serve a practical purpose, as they make a nice hidden storage place for a wide variety of items.
In a kitchen, there is no end to the things that require a place to be tucked away. Everything from utensils to cookbooks to potholders is easily stored in baskets. And because they have excellent air flow, baskets are an ideal place to store fresh produce.
The baskets used come in either eucalyptus or rattan, but have now been repaced with a nylon web that is more consistent in color and is more durable. The solid wood frames have also been updated from birch to maple or walnut. They can be mounted with side rails so that they can be accessed as conveniently as a drawer. Plus, the canvas liners are easily removed for washing. Form and function both belong in the kitchen and they meet in OVIS’ woven pull-out baskets.
