Take a look at these baskets by Joe Hogan which take a time-honoured traditional craft and combine it beautifully with a true sense of artistic expression.

Istanbul-based Karre furniture and product design studio dates back to 1950’s when Sadi Ozis, Turkish designer, painter and sculptor, started to design and produce the first metal furniture in Turkey in his metal atelier. “Although 60 years passed since then, these timeless designs are above all interior trends with all their elegance and still fascinate appreciative eyes. Having internalised these principles, Karre studio continues creating custom and handcrafted products, furniture designs and applications.”

Now based in L.A. but with several showrooms across the U.S., the VIOSKI collection is a modernist's configurative dream. Exhibiting fine mid-century modern aesthetics, the collection puts beautiful form in its high functionality.

We say it's clunky because the current prototype requires you stick your fingers into that little box, but it's not difficult to imagine where this could go:
