This would have to be the most awesome "basket" ever.

It's the home of the Longaberger Company Headquarters, an American family owned business in Ohio that makes handcrafted maple wood baskets and other products for the home.

The building is based on the shape of their biggest selling basket which is called the "Medium Market Basket" and it's also a well known landmark.

Not hard to see why, it's amazing!
