Breadboy Bread Bin

The Breadboy Bread Bin was designed for the manufacturer Wesco.

In business since 1867, this Germany company specialises in high-quality metalware products for the home, that are finished to a standard which reflects the label's long experience in the field. Early on, it recognized the appeal of nostalgia, reviving designs from the past in a way that is extremely attractive to the present.

Measuring 17cm in height and 42cm in width, the Breadboy Bread Bin from Wesco calls to mind the contours and colours of vintage Americana, conjuring up a host of images familiar from '50s Hollywood movies. Made of steel sheet, the bread compartment is capsule shaped and hinged at the rear, where there are also discreet air holes to prevent the build up of moisture. The piece comes powder coated in a range of colour options, some appropriate to the '50s theme, others funkily contemporary. By contrast, the feet of the bread bin are made from gleaming stainless steel wire. Evocative of a bygone era yet also practical and made to last, the Breadboy Bread Bin is sure to be a delightful addition to refurbished period homes and retro-themed kitchens.
