Basket
Made by Fritz Hansen
Designed by Benjamin Hubert
Benjamin Hubert's Basket for Fritz Hansen begins with a deceptively simple premise: what does storage look like when it is designed with the same care given to a chair? The answer is an object that holds its own in any room, not by competing for attention, but by belonging.
Steam-bent wood is central to Fritz Hansen's heritage, and Hubert draws on that tradition deliberately. The material is shaped rather than forced, giving the basket its gentle curves and structural integrity without excess weight. It moves easily, sits quietly, and improves with use.
- Constructed from steam-bent wood with fine veneer
- Proportioned for magazines, newspapers, or personal projects
- Lightweight and portable by design
- Consistent with Fritz Hansen's Scandinavian craft lineage
Hubert, a British designer known for his material intelligence and restrained sensibility, approaches everyday objects as opportunities for refinement. The Basket is not decorative in the conventional sense. Its form is its ornament.

Frequently Asked Questions
What wood is used in the Fritz Hansen Basket?
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.
Who is designer Benjamin Hubert?
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.
What can the Fritz Hansen Basket hold?
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.
How does the Fritz Hansen Basket compare to a traditional magazine rack?
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.
Is the Fritz Hansen Basket suitable for a minimalist interior?
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.
