Slow Wave Art Basket

With its slender neck of natural elephant grass and generously proportioned body in deep, earthy tones, the Slow Wave Art Basket is defined by a fluid, wave-like silhouette. The contrast between light and dark lends the piece a quiet architectural presence, balancing sculptural form with the warmth of natural materials.

Handwoven to order by Gurunsi artisans in Northern Ghana, each basket is crafted from elephant grass, carefully split, twisted and dyed by hand. The lighter fibres at the neck transition into a densely woven dark body, creating a subtle interplay of texture, tone and rhythm. Requiring several weeks of meticulous work, a piece of this scale reflects the exceptional skill and experience of its maker.

Standing 88 cm tall, the Slow Wave Art Basket makes a striking floor statement in a living room, entrance hall or hotel lobby. Its generous proportions and understated drama bring depth, warmth and a distinctive expression of contemporary African craftsmanship to the interior.
