These hen-shaped baskets belong to a mid-20th-century European domestic tradition, when wicker was widely used to create functional containers for kitchens and food storage. Inspired by rural imagery and farm life, they combine handcraft with a playful language that transforms a utilitarian object into a piece with its own character.

The tight weaving and solid structure reveal a handmade process intended for everyday use, while the wooden details and small touches of color add a decorative dimension that makes them warm and familiar. These are not naive objects, but rather pieces in which functionality coexists with an approachable, almost narrative form.

Today, these baskets can be integrated into a contemporary interior as holders for eggs, fruit, or bread, or simply as sculptural objects that bring warmth, humor, and an organic presence. They work especially well in kitchens, open shelving, or spaces where the domestic and the decorative meet, adding a layer of everyday history that resonates with the present.
