Cesira Fruit Basket

$98

Made by Serax

Designed by Antonino Sciortino

Antonino Sciortino approaches metalwork the way a sculptor approaches raw material: with patience, precision, and deep respect for form. The Cesira Fruit Basket is the result of that sensibility, reduced to its most essential geometry and finished entirely by hand using traditional craft methods.

The wire construction carries a vintage-tinted patina that emerges from the finishing process itself, not applied as an afterthought. Because each basket is made by hand, no two are identical. The slight irregularities in the wire are not flaws but signatures, evidence of the maker's touch preserved in the final object.

  • Handcrafted metal construction with traditional finishing techniques
  • Vintage-tinted patina inherent to the handmade process
  • Each piece carries natural variation, making it one of a kind
  • Designed for indoor use
  • Functions equally as a fruit basket or a sculptural decorative object

Sciortino's work exists at the boundary between craft and sculpture. Cesira holds fruit as readily as it holds attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Antonino Sciortino?

Antonino Sciortino is a Belgian-based Italian designer known for his handcrafted wire and metal objects that sit at the intersection of craft and sculpture. His work is produced by Serax and is recognized for its artisanal character and geometric restraint.

What metal is the Cesira Fruit Basket made from?

The Cesira Fruit Basket is constructed from metal wire and finished using traditional handcraft methods that produce its distinctive vintage-tinted patina. The exact character of the finish varies slightly from piece to piece.

Why does each Cesira basket look slightly different?

Because the basket is made and finished entirely by hand, natural irregularities in the wire and patina are part of the process. These variations are intentional and considered intrinsic to the object's identity.

Can the Cesira Fruit Basket be used outdoors?

The Cesira Fruit Basket is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture or outdoor conditions may affect the metal finish over time.

Is the Cesira Fruit Basket purely functional or also decorative?

It serves both purposes equally well. The geometric wire form reads as a sculptural object even when empty, and many designers use it as a tabletop or counter accent independent of its function as a fruit holder.
