This is the Earth basket with lid, designed by Marie Michielssen for the Belgian design house Serax. The object combines a robust, sculptural design with unexpected material use, resulting in a striking and functional interior piece. The basket is entirely made of papier-mâché, a material that provides a unique, irregular texture and a surprisingly light weight. The design is executed in a deep black color, which emphasizes the organic and tactile qualities of the surface. The basket is equipped with two sturdy handles and a matching lid, making it both a decorative and practical storage object. The object is in excellent condition and retains its original, characteristic finish. The authentic Serax labeling is still present on the underside, confirming the origin and design by Marie Michielssen. This papier-mâché basket fits perfectly into a modern, minimalist or wabi-sabi inspired interior. The object functions excellently as a storage solution in a living room, bedroom or hallway, and adds a strong, earthy element to the space.
