"Lunarejo" Sheep Wool Basket, by Inês Schertel, Brazilian Contemporary Design
About the Item
This white wool basket by Inês Schertel is an exquisite illustration of Brazilian contemporary modern design. The piece is crafted using traditional methods, showcasing the organic and luxurious qualities of sheep wool.
The basket stands upright, with a form that is both functional and sculpturally expressive. Its vertical stature is complemented by two protruding handles that are seamlessly integrated into the design, curving outward from the body. These handles are not just practical for carrying or moving the basket but also contribute to its artistic form, reminiscent of natural growths or extensions.
The basket is characterized by its tactile texture, which results from the meticulous felting process. Felted wool is known for its durability, and here it is thickened to create a sturdy container that maintains its shape while exhibiting a soft exterior. The natural color of the wool is preserved, presenting an off-white hue that speaks to the material's purity and simplicity.
The texture of the wool gives the basket a comforting, cozy feel, while the undulating lines and organic shape contribute to its visual interest. The design doesn't rely on bright colors or complex patterns but rather draws attention through its simplicity and the evident craftsmanship.
Inês Schertel's approach to design is deeply rooted in the use of sustainable, natural materials, and this basket is a testament to her commitment to these principles. It is both a functional object and a piece of modern art that would complement a variety of interior decors, from minimalist to more rustic or natural settings.
In summary, the white wool basket by Inês Schertel reflects the essence of contemporary Brazilian design, blending traditional crafting techniques with modern aesthetics to create a piece that is both beautiful and practical. It represents a harmonious marriage between form and function, crafted from materials that carry a sense of warmth and authenticity.
About The Designer:
Inês Schertel is a Brazilian designer renowned for her work with natural wool. She employs an ancient felting technique to create contemporary pieces, focusing on sustainability and the natural beauty of her materials. Schertel, who is based in the southern region of Brazil, has been influential in bringing traditional crafts into modern design contexts. Her work includes furniture, decorative objects, and art pieces that are characterized by their organic shapes, textures, and the deep connection with Brazilian culture and the natural environment.
Schertel's design philosophy revolves around the respect for material, process, and tradition, blending these elements to produce items that stand at the intersection of art and design. By working with wool from her own sheep, which are raised on her farm in São Francisco de Paula, she controls the entire production process from raw material to finished product. This approach not only ensures the high quality and sustainability of her work but also highlights her commitment to ethical and environmentally friendly practices.
Her creations have been showcased in various exhibitions and design fairs around the world, gaining international recognition for their uniqueness and the story they tell about Brazilian craftsmanship and design innovation. Schertel's work is a testament to the power of combining traditional techniques with contemporary design thinking to create pieces that are both beautiful and meaningful.
