Bornholmsk Pileflet
A small rural workshop in Klemensker where traditional willow weaving becomes functional art and intimate encounters with Bornholm’s craft heritage unfold.
Bornholmsk Pileflet is a small willow-weaving workshop and shop in rural Klemensker on the island of Bornholm. From a private farmhouse setting at Kuregårdsvej 7, local artisan craftsmanship comes to life in handwoven baskets, trays and decorative pieces made from natural willow. It is an intimate place to browse unique, functional art, glimpse traditional Scandinavian craft techniques and chat directly with the maker in a calm countryside atmosphere away from the island’s busier coastal towns.

Local tips
- Check current opening hours in advance, as the workshop is only open on selected weekdays and weekend mornings with limited time windows.
- Bring a tote or backpack with some space if you think you might buy a basket, as larger pieces are awkward to carry in small bags.
- Allow time to talk with the craftsperson about materials and care; proper handling and occasional cleaning will keep willow pieces looking good for years.
- If you have specific size or color wishes, ask about possible custom work; lead times can be longer in peak summer when the workshop is busy.

Willow Craft in the Bornholm Countryside
Bornholmsk Pileflet sits quietly on Kuregårdsvej, surrounded by fields and farm buildings in the small village of Klemensker at the heart of Bornholm. This is not a glossy high-street boutique but a working craft space, where willow rods, finished baskets and half-made pieces share the same rooms. The setting feels distinctly rural: you arrive in a patchwork of fields, low farmhouses and big Bornholm skies rather than in a dense urban centre. The business was founded as a small, independent workshop dedicated to willow weaving, a traditional craft once essential in Nordic farm life. Today, the focus is on keeping that tradition alive through thoughtful, contemporary designs created on a modest scale by a single craftsperson.Handwoven Baskets and Everyday Objects
Inside, you find shelves and tables lined with handwoven baskets of different shapes and sizes: deep log baskets, sturdy shopping carriers, delicately patterned trays and small decorative bowls. Much of the work uses unstripped willow, so the natural variations in bark colour create subtle stripes and patterns across each piece. The emphasis is on practical beauty. Handles are shaped to feel comfortable in the hand, bases are woven to be strong, and rims are tightly finished so the items can cope with daily use. You can examine pieces up close, feel their surprising lightness and see the different weave structures that distinguish a simple storage basket from an intricate serving tray.Meeting the Maker and Seeing the Process
Because the workshop and shop share the same address, the visit often has a behind-the-scenes feel. You may notice bundles of soaking willow rods, half-finished frames on a workbench or tools laid out for the next project. It gives an immediate sense of how much time and repetition sit behind each finished item. Conversations naturally turn to how long a basket takes to make, where the willow comes from, and how designs have evolved from historical farm use to modern interior décor. You gain insight into techniques like pairing, waling and border work in a way that is easy to understand, even without any craft background.Bornholm’s Craft Heritage in Microcosm
Bornholm is widely known for its vibrant craft scene, from glass and ceramics to textiles and woodwork. Bornholmsk Pileflet represents the quieter, more intimate side of that heritage. Rather than a large gallery, it is a single artisan’s universe, rooted in rural rhythms and small-scale production. The pieces here echo the island’s character: practical, natural and subtly decorative. Willow as a material links to hedgerows, wetlands and riverbanks, making every object feel connected to the wider landscape. Visiting this workshop offers a focused lens on how traditional skills can continue to thrive within a modern island economy.Planning a Stop in Klemensker
Opening hours are limited, typically clustered on selected weekdays and weekend mornings, so a visit rewards a bit of planning. The shop space is compact, encouraging slow browsing rather than a rushed stop. You can expect a calm, unhurried atmosphere with time to ask questions about care, longevity and custom orders. Klemensker’s central location on Bornholm makes the workshop a convenient stop when crossing the island between coastal areas. Many travellers pair a visit here with time in nearby countryside or other small workshops and farm shops, turning it into a relaxed half-day focused on local production and rural life.Slow Moments and Lasting Souvenirs
The experience at Bornholmsk Pileflet is unhurried and tactile. You handle the smooth willow, notice the faint scent of dried wood and perhaps the creak of floorboards underfoot. There is no background music to compete with conversation, just the occasional rustle of baskets and quiet sounds from the surrounding farm. For many, a piece from this workshop becomes a long-lived souvenir that returns you mentally to Bornholm with every use. Whether it ends up storing blankets, fruit or firewood, the basket or tray carries a story of time, place and patient craftsmanship from a small workshop in Klemensker.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
