Amazing Buildings of the World. The Basket Building

The Basket Building (Ohio, United States). What started out as a dream by Dave Longaberger, Founder of The Longaberger Company, has been built into a giant basket to house the entire corporate offices of the company. Dave’s dream was achieved on December 17, 1997 when the Home Office that is designed to resemble a basket finally opened for business. The Longaberger Company is an American manufacturer and distributor of handcrafted maple wood baskets and other home and lifestyle products.

In 1998, The Longaberger Home Office also received a Build Ohio Award for its synthetic plaster system. The building is made of stucco over a steel structure, which helps create the look of an actual Longaberger Basket.
