Product Insights
The Ashi Log Basket by Blomus is a reed-inspired slender steel cylinder designed by award-winning studio kaschkasch, featuring a silhouette that references reed stems and an honest-materials philosophy with an exposed steel body and an FSC-certified ebonized oak handle. Priced at 449 CAD, it costs more than double comparable baskets while holding 5–7 logs (up to 24 liters). Its 5.01 kg steel basket stays planted on the hearth, but the oak handle and powder-coated steel are not weather-treated, limiting use to indoors or covered areas; the powder-coat finish resists scratches and soot but requires cleaning only with a damp cloth. The basket coordinates with a matching ASHI tool set and has won the Red Dot Design Award.
