Product Story
Oat Flaikie Table by Annemarie O'Sullivan was inspired by Annemarie’s time spent on a residency on the Orkney Islands, organised by The New Craftsmen. This piece was influenced by how mattresses and door coverings are often used in Orcadian stone cottages to keep out the draft, prompting Annemarie to create a piece around which people can gather to find comfort and converse.

Using an ancient technique and applying it to a contemporary context, this piece was painstakingly crafted by assembling oat straw over a metal frame.




Process

Based in East Sussex, Annemarie O'Sullivan makes contemporary baskets using ancient British basket-making techniques. Annemarie grows around twenty varieties of willow, which she harvests by hand on a half-acre plot near her home. Working from a wooden studio in her garden, Annemarie creates both small-scale domestic objects and larger woven sculptures. Her baskets have been featured in The New York Times, The Irish Times, House and Garden and Country Living.
