Do you know why we have kept wicker basket for 240 years? Our predecessors had the good idea to choose wicker and rattan which are the two materials that make up a hot air balloon basket. With of course leather to ensure decoration and safety. But the most interesting is the main virtue, that of being a real shock absorber. If we land a little abruptly, it hugs the shock. The cradle always returns to its original shape. We have tried different materials to replace it but none of them has been convincing.
