After living in China for several years and witnessing, on a large scale, the wasteful habit of disposable chopsticks, artist Bryan Parks decided he had to do something about it. So, he set to work designing functional, sculptural folding pieces handmade from recycled, sanitized bamboo chopsticks.
Symmetrical and simple, this large folding basket holds everything from fruits to bread to decorative items, and then can be folded up to the size of a fan for easy storage and transportation.
Before becoming baskets, the chopsticks are boiled in black tea to give them a medium brown color.
Handmade in the Yunnan Province of southwest China.

The basket looks great. I love that it's recycled. I also love that it folds flat for storage, which is a major plus when space is a premium. The stain of the chopsticks looks terrific in almost any setting.
It's not very large, but it's a piece that marries functional and decorative, so it's not too big a deal.

My family has a gift exchange for Christmas. This was a great contribution since we have many 20-somethings with their own apartments that had to pack their gifts in luggage after the holidays.
