WEAVE - WEEK 1 WHY BASKETS FIRST?

Why baskets first

Baskets come first because carrying comes before furniture.

Before people store, display, or decorate, they move things.
Food, tools, laundry, harvest, trade. Daily life is transport.

A basket is the minimum viable structure:
flexible but stable, light but strong, repairable, breathable, scalable.
It solves movement without needing infrastructure.

Most designed objects refine comfort.
Carrying systems enable survival.

Therefore, opening with baskets isn’t heritage-driven.
It’s system-driven.

If you understand how something must travel, you understand how it should be made.

Everything else in the home follows that logic.
