Beautiful Bendy Baskets
You will probably never have heard of, let alone experienced the pleasure of creating a 'basket' out of a flat metal grid!
The most expensive metal after gold and silver, pure tin does not easily rust, possesses high antibacterial qualities, and is known to have low allergic reactivity. Tin has traditionally been used for tea-ware products due to the belief that water in a tin container does not spoil, and is also thought to remove excessive bitterness from Sake when served from a tin vessel.
NOUSAKU create innovative 100% pure tin products that are not only pieces of art, but also beautiful, useful objects for our modern lifestyles. Each one of the range of tin 'baskets' can easily be bent by hand into a variety of attractive, useful items for the home or office. As tin is bent, the clearly audible crackling sounds are tin molecules rubbing against each other and is known as 'tin cry.'
