Basket Pendant Light designed by David Trubridge

Sept. 30, 2015 - PRLog -- There is a Maori creation myth in which the gods gave to humans three baskets containing the knowledge they needed to live on Earth. They hold the knowledge of the natural world Kete Arounui (bamboo basket), spiritual world Kete Tuaatea (polycarbonate basket) and our rational world Kete Tuauri (aluminum basket). The knowledge needs to be in balance for us to live harmoniously on Earth.

The Basket of Knowledge Kete Tuaatea features a hand sanded polycarbonate basket with rivets. Ships assembled.
