Serax's Tale basket is a unique piece by artist and blacksmith – and former professional dancer – Antonino Sciortino. The playful and eye-catching combination of straight lines and soft, curved shapes makes the Tale basket not only a practical everyday essential but also an interesting and discussion-provoking work of art. The iron basket is both sculptural and attractively airy in appearance, and it is a perfect centrepiece to a table setting or a striking decorative object in its own right. It also works as perfectly as a fruit or bread basket: the Tale has high edges that keep your favourite fruits and loaves of bread firmly inside.

Antonino Sciortino is an Italian artist known for his elaborate metalwork as well as his spectacular career as a dancer and choreographer. A native of Palermo, Italy, Sciortino began practising moulding metal at his brother's blacksmith's workshop when he was no older than eight, and even though the following decades took him in a different direction – dancing – Sciortino returned to the furnace at a more mature age. Sciortino's simple yet sophisticated metal sculptures draw inspiration from his career as a dancer and combine the heavy, rigid material with free-slowing movement in a fascinating way.
