How does a story survive?
By the reliving of the memories we inherit, the places that shape us, and the patterns we teach. This is the art of the Tlingit spruce root basketry.

Basket Case | Spruce Root Weave Honor Rug
Basket Case is a collaboration between Jennifer Younger and American Dakota, inspired by the enduring beauty of Tlingit spruce root basketry.
Working closely with Jennifer, the design team sought to honor the cultural significance of traditional basket patterns while preserving their authenticity. Equally inspiring was the rich patina that develops on baskets through years of use, reflecting the lives and hands that have cared for them.
Together, Jennifer and the design team selected a contemporary two-tone color palette, creating a fresh interpretation of these timeless designs. The rug celebrates how tradition can be respectfully preserved, thoughtfully reimagined, and carried forward into modern homes.
