Big Basket provides supersize comfort in a lightweight mesh design. Available in three sizes proportioned to suit a range of indoor and outdoor settings.

Big, Small & Mini Basket

Armchair

Design Ola Gillgren

The Basket’s open, mesh-like structure provides the supersize comfort of a generous armchair, while being lighter than a solid seat. The sides rise upwards to form a spacious and comfortable backrest. Rain and water run off without leaving any lasting marks, making the seats virtually maintenance-free. The range consists of three sizes. Wooden seats or fabric seat cushions can be ordered for outdoor versions, while a leather seat cushion is available for indoor use. Both cushions fit inside the frame’s contours and enhance the overall comfort of the seat.

Materials and surface treatments

Stainless steel

Stainless steel is an iron alloy with at least 10.5% chromium that often has good resistance to corrosion (rust) and other chemical attacks. A common misconception about stainless steel is that it does not rust at all; it can in fact corrode, especially in environments near the sea with high humidity.

Powder coating

Powder coating is a coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint, powder coating is usually applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. The result is an even, hard-wearing coloured surface with the desired gloss level.

Oak

Oak is a heavy, hard and medium tough wood. Moderately dimensionally stable in case of moisture changes. Oak wood blackens if it is exposed to moisture or wetness for a long time. However, it does not affect the other properties of the wood. Thanks to its hardness and toughness, the oak wood is suitable for furniture and other use in exposed environments.

Accoya

Accoya® wood is the result of more than 80 years of research and development into modifying wood through an acetylation process. Accoya® wood is Radiata pine, a fast-growing wood virtually free of knots that is harvested from renewable FSC-certified forests. Accoya® wood has properties that match or exceed those of tropical woods and the treatment process is non-toxic. The pale wood will turn grey over time and may develop dark spots over time. Accoya® can withstand humid and rainy environments very well and expands/contracts less than other tropical-type woods.

Wood oil

Wood oil provides good protection against the stresses of the outdoor climate and at the same time highlights the wood's natural appearance and properties.

Assembly and placement

Freestanding

Freestanding product that is placed directly on the ground.

Surface mount

Can be bolted above ground, to the floor or to a cast-in-place foundation. Bolts not included.

Maintenance

Powdercoated steel

Products that are powder-coated can be touch-up painted with alkyd paint.

Oiled oak

Oiled oak should be oiled twice a year for best protection. Good maintenance can never completely prevent stains from occurring, but oak that is not maintained will turn blacker and turn gray faster, but it still has a very long life. When re-oiling products, a finely boiled oil that penetrates the wood should be chosen over a film-forming oil.

Accoya

Accoya is maintenance-free and does not require any special treatment to preserve its unique properties. If black spots should appear on the wood from pollution in the air, these are easily removed with any kind of furniture wash.
