Knitted Rope Multi-Purpose Baskets

This is the Triangular Multi-Purpose Folding Basket.  It is also called "Banana Hammock".  It's folding shape allows you to pile a bunch of stuff in the center of the basket, such as wood, freshly picked flowers or produce from the garden, then simply gather and carry your goods by the leather wrapped handles.  It can also function as a hammock if hung open by the two handles.  





This version is called the Bower Nest Basket, inspired by Bower Bird Nests.  Bower birds build beautiful elaborate nests that function as a stage to display their collected treasures.  It's wide opening in the front makes it easy to add and extract items from the pouch.  I had mushroom hunting in mind while I was designing the shape. It can also be hung to cradle your fruit and vegetables, toys, a rock collection, or a plant, any kind of treasure.  



Both of these products will be featured at our upcoming Plane/Air Cooperative showcase.
