Birch Laundry Hamper

2007_06_27_birch_laundry_bi.jpg
We grew up in a 30's era building that had lots of built-ins, including a metal laundry hamper flush with the tiled bathroom wall. So we didn't wrestle with the uninspiring options for standalone hampers -- nay, we didn't even really know that there was such a thing as a standalone laundry hamper -- until adulthood.
 
 

We may be slow on the laundry hamper scene, but after years of searching for a decent one, we just came across Bodie and Fou's Birch Bin, and we feel like we've found the Holy Grail.

Evocative of a hand-crafted round Shaker box, the Birch Bin has a roll-back lid and a floaty, contemporary look.

Elegance has its price: in this case about $270, plus shipping from the UK...but it's the next best thing to built-in.

Available here.

I saw one in the shop, and yes, its beautiful. Decision breaker for me though, was the shop model had little bits of birch chipped off around the roll top. Just a little bit, mind you, but enough to make me very sad if I would have owned it.

Now my heart is set on the hamper either from vipp or kartell.
