Japanese Ikebana Basket in Leather and Cane - Navy & Off White
Jover Valls continues its work of reclaiming and elevating local craftsmanship with this exceptional hand-woven basket. An innovative fusion of materials where leather, brass, and natural cane intertwine to bring a truly unique object to life. Its silhouette pays exquisite homage to the forms of Asian vases and the floral art of Ikebana, while delving into the purest roots of basketry tradition. The creative minds behind the firm, Quico and Javier, once again manage to connect a practice of humble origins with the world of luxury design, integrating the nobility of cowhide and the gleam of metal to create exclusive pieces that embody the brand's unmistakable spirit.
This design is the result of a close collaboration with María Teresa Miñana, a master esparto artisan with over two decades of research into natural fiber weaving techniques. The work explores the ancient methods of the Valencian region — with historical references dating back to Roman times — and draws on the artisan's tireless curiosity for age-old traditions, even exploring techniques originating from Japan. The impeccable and vibrant chromatic contrast in Navy and Off White tones brings a striking level of sophistication, transforming an everyday item into a true statement piece for the home.
