Description
Sewn by hand in the atelier by skilled Italian artisans, the Galatea Basket Set pairs a medium and a large basket that bring soft texture and color to everyday storage, indoors and out. Their round, open bodies are stitched from Olyna® braids in melange tones that coordinate with NodoItalia’s knit fabrics, ready to gather towels by the pool or in a spa, hold laundry, linens or magazines, or serve as cachepots for plants on a terrace. The two sizes nest neatly together or work side by side, and no two pieces are exactly alike.
Made from the same Olyna® yarn as every NodoItalia piece, the Galatea baskets can match the colors of the cushions, seating and rugs in the same space, for a perfectly harmonious look. The yarn is UV resistant, 100% recyclable, hypoallergenic and resistant to mold and bacteria, and the baskets are easy to clean. The set is available in a variety of colors. Made in Italy.
Please note: each basket is sewn by hand, so no two pieces are exactly alike. Colors and shades shown in photos and swatches are indicative and may look slightly different in real life.
Care and Maintenance
- Sun and weather: NodoItalia yarns are UV resistant, but long exposure to intense sunlight can affect their color and strength over time, so keep the baskets in the shade when they’re not in use. In wet weather and during the off-season, store them in a dry, ventilated space, and never wrap them in plastic, which traps moisture and can cause mildew.
- Routine care: brush off dirt gently, vacuum regularly or wipe with a damp cloth to prevent buildup. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution, rinse thoroughly and let it dry completely.
- Stains: treat them promptly. Remove the excess with absorbent paper or a soft brush, then clean with a sponge or cloth and a mild soap solution. Rinse well, pat dry and let it air dry fully before use.
- Sanitizing: the yarns can be sanitized with 70% alcohol or sodium hypochlorite up to 0.5% without affecting their texture or color, even after repeated cleaning.
