Storage, Reconsidered in Recycled PET Felt
by 313 Design Market
·
At 313 Design Market, we are always drawn to pieces that solve everyday needs with a stronger point of view. Colu and Hide Laundry baskets from Normann Copenhagen do exactly that, pairing practical function with a considered material story. Crafted from recycled PET felt made from post-consumer plastic bottles, they offer a softer, more refined approach to storage for the modern home.
Colu Basket
Designed by Belgian designer Baptiste Vandaele, the Colu Basket transforms a familiar household object into something more architectural. Inspired by the enduring elegance of Roman columns, its rhythmic hollowed arches create a sculptural silhouette while flowing seamlessly into integrated handles. The result is a basket that feels both tactile and purposeful, balancing visual character with everyday usability. Lightweight yet durable, Colu is well suited for storing magazines, toys or daily essentials while bringing a quiet sense of structure to a room.
Hide Laundry Basket
Designed by Simon Legald, the Hide Laundry Basket approaches storage with discretion and clarity. Made from PET felt, it is designed to conceal what does not need to be on display while blending naturally into the interior around it. Its soft form and understated expression make it an elevated solution for laundry, while its material reflects a more circular way of thinking, repurposing plastic waste into a durable and versatile felt. Practical, minimal and easy to live with, Hide brings a thoughtful refinement to one of the home’s most routine functions.
As a fully authorized Normann Copenhagen dealer, we can source the full collection by special order, and we welcome architects and designers to consider the line for both residential and commercial projects.
