the wicker basket is perhaps one of the most quintessential bicycle accessories. the bent basket by san francisco designer faris elmasu is a variation on this classic design made using bent plywood. the basket can be attached to a bike’s front or rear rack and holds a variety of objects with a series of elastic straps. five layers of wood veneer are vacuum molded to make the design light and durable. an aluminum frame s mounted below to hold it in place while the nylon straps keep cargo safe. the basket will even hold a 12 pack of beer!

more commentsI really like it -I live in Copenhagen and bike daily, have a basket, a wire rack and also carry a big shoulder bag due to purses getting snatched by thieves on scooters.
One of the biggest obstacles is my Vinyl carrier bag when i DJ, so I have to ask what is the carry load and how does it react to rain/damp?
And I really like elastics being preplaced
Whatever the cons are (all in all I didn’t like the thing…), the way you’ve designed the straps to be secured was very smart. It’s simple, it’s quick to use. I quit using rubber straps to hold things on my bike because one have always to figure out how to hold different things every and each time you had cargo to take. The wooden feeling is nice too.
