Copenhagen-based imprint Palmes works in collaboration with design duo Frederik Gustav to design a unique tennis ball basket. It is made from stained oak and is a limited edition as a collectible for fans.
Speaking about the new basket, the brand states that “Though often overlooked and taken for granted, we find that the ball basket is so much more than that [...] It’s a catalyst for, and testament to, improvement; a sculpture infused by inherent function; a poetic companion that is with us throughout the endless hours, hours and hours that we find ourselves grinding away, forehand to backhand and backhand to forehand, on the tennis court.” It is now available for purchase at a made-to-order process online at Palmes.
