Description

Las: Scottish Gaelic. Verb. 1. Kindle 2. Light 3. Ignite

Locally-sourced Scottish Oak wood sits alongside handwoven vegetable-tanned leather in a combination that celebrates the heritage and culture of the West Coast Highlands.

Inspired by and developed using skills learned from traditional clinker boatbuilding and basketry, ‘Las’ weaves together environmental values, a modern aesthetic based on time-honoured techniques and materials, with the landscape, culture and heritage of the Scottish Highlands.

Las, the smallest in this series of works, uses vintage nylon from the 1960’s to create a strong, yet delicate looking, geometric pattern along the curved outer face of the basket. This bold exterior contrasts with the smooth, oiled Scottish Oak interior. She resembles a flame, or teardrop in her shape.

Materials: Scottish Oak, Italian Vegetable Tanned Leather and Vintage Nylon

Size: 40 × 32 × 12 cm
