A sculptural reinterpretation of the traditional sewing basket, the Cestlavie storage basket by Poltrona Frau—designed by GamFratesi—elevates utility through meticulous craftsmanship and material integrity. The cylindrical form, wrapped entirely in hand-woven Saddle Extra leather, offers a tactile surface that reads as both ornamental and functional within refined architectural spaces.

Its removable lid, upholstered in Pelle Frau® leather, doubles as an elegant tabletop, allowing Cestlavie to shift seamlessly between storage and surface. Designed for living areas, dressing rooms, or private offices, this leather storage basket blends modern typology with artisanal fluency—an enduring accent that reflects Poltrona Frau’s legacy of form-led precision and domestic elegance.
