Cesto

The Basket is constructed from steam-bent wood with a fine veneer finish, a technique central to Fritz Hansen's production heritage that allows the material to be shaped into curves without compromising structural integrity.

Benjamin Hubert is a British industrial designer and founder of the London-based studio LAYER. He is known for a rigorous, material-driven approach to product design, working across furniture, objects, and technology with an emphasis on process and restraint.

The Basket is proportioned for magazines, newspapers, and similar flat printed matter, though its open form accommodates a range of personal items such as craft projects, documents, or folded textiles.

Unlike a conventional magazine rack, the Basket prioritizes portability and material character. Its basket form allows items to be carried from room to room, and its wood construction gives it the presence of a considered furniture object rather than a purely functional accessory.

Yes. Its silhouette is quiet and its materiality warm, making it well suited to interiors where objects are chosen for their craft rather than their visual noise. It works equally well in Scandinavian, contemporary, and eclectic settings.
