About the Item
This large basket by Inês Schertel is a beautiful example of Brazilian contemporary modern design, emphasizing organic forms and the use of natural materials. Schertel, renowned for her work with sheep wool, employs traditional techniques to create unique, tactile pieces that are both functional and sculptural.
The basket is crafted from felted sheep wool, a material known for its durability and warmth. The wool appears to have been manipulated into a thick, matted texture, creating a sturdy structure for the basket. The natural coloring of the wool, with shades ranging from soft creams to earthy browns, gives the piece a rustic yet refined appearance.
The form of the basket is irregular, organic, and reminiscent of natural geological formations. Its shape is asymmetrical, which contributes to its handcrafted charm. The exterior surface of the basket features a crinkled texture that might have been achieved through a felting process that encourages the wool fibers to bind and pucker in interesting patterns.
The rim of the basket exhibits a raw, unfinished quality, with edges that curl and fray, further enhancing the naturalistic aesthetic of the piece. The addition of fabric elements, which appear to be tied around the basket, adds a contrasting texture and a soft, draping effect.
This large basket is not just a utilitarian object but also a piece of art that reflects the designer's commitment to sustainable design practices and the celebration of traditional craftsmanship. It could serve various functions, from a decorative holder for other objects to a statement piece that draws the eye in an interior setting.
In summary, this large basket by Inês Schertel showcases the warmth and versatility of sheep wool as a material, while also standing as a testament to the innovative design that Brazilian contemporary modern artistry is known for. It is a piece that brings the tactile and the aesthetic into harmony, embodying a sense of comfort and organic elegance.
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.
