The Three Baskets of Knowledge

PRODUCTS: Palsun Polycarbonate Sheet and PETG

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 (bamboo basket), spiritual world (polycarbonate basket) and our rational world (aluminium basket). The knowledge needs to be in balance for us to live harmoniously on Earth, where David Trubridge has recreated these basked for one of the Milan Design Weeks.
