"What makes these baskets special to me is that they are a reflection of the materials I often work with throughout my artwork," says Miami-based artist and designer Élan Byrd. "Basketry is one of the oldest ancient crafts and one that is specifically aligned with the ethos that embraces the connection between earth and hand." Black decorative vase is hand-woven of rattan to create a strong shape and structure. Small scale is well-sized for bookshelves, console tables, mantels and centerpieces. Style it alone or, as Byrd suggests, with the larger natural Luana vase for a compelling exploration of size and color. CB2 exclusive.
