Description
This woven fruit basket takes the shape of a pineapple, with a bright orange body and a crown of green leaves fanning out from one end. The weave is plastic wrapped around a metal frame, which keeps the oval bowl firm and steady. From the tip of the leaves to the far end it measures 28.5cm long, 15.4cm wide and 6cm high, while the basket itself, leaves aside, is about 21.5cm long and 15cm across, giving a good, usable well for fruit. It weighs only 0.12KG, so it is easy to lift, carry to the table and move about.
It belongs in the kitchen or dining room, where a pineapple brings a sunny, summery note to the everyday job of keeping fruit to hand. Set it on a worktop beside the kettle, on an open shelf, or in the middle of the table with a few apples, oranges or a bunch of grapes. The low sides mean everything inside is easy to see and easy to reach, and the slim oval suits a narrow spot where a round bowl would crowd things. Away from fruit, it makes a cheerful catch-all on a hall table or desk for keys, sunglasses or small odds and ends.
The plastic strands are wrapped closely over the metal frame, and the rim is bound all the way round for a tidy, rounded edge. The green leaves are woven in the same way and fan out flat from the rim. To keep it looking bright, wipe it over with a damp cloth and let it dry, and use a soft dry brush to lift dust from the weave. Line it with a napkin for bread rolls, set it on a striped cloth for a bright summer table, or wrap it up as a fun, practical present for someone who loves a pop of colour in the kitchen.
