Motxilak Basket

Martín Azúa has designed a backpack that integrates a chestnut basket handmade by the artisan Beatriz Unzueta. The chestnut basket contains a fabric bag that allows you to safely transport your personal computer or tablet. The chestnut basketmaking was very common in the Basque Country rural areas and it was used in hard tasks as the potato harvest because of its strength, lightness and durability. In this project we want to recover the chestnut basket initial utilitarian function for a contemporary urban use. It is a natural and vegetal product, “a basket to go to the office”.

Motxilak Basket is part of the collection Barcelona Design Museum.
