Stelton Bread Bag by Klaus Rath

Karen

Good bread deserves to be stored and served in the best, most appealing way possible. That is the simple idea behind the multi-purpose bread bag, a new breadbasket from Stelton. The bag was designed by Klaus Roth, who has created a long list of beautiful minimalist solutions including earphones, flat screen televisions, sign systems and graphical design. The bread bag is made of high-quality, certified organic Duck cotton insulated with felt. Attractive and rugged, the bag can be used in many ways. In addition to storing bread, it also folds down to become an eye-catching, imaginative breadbasket that can vary in size.

The concealed magnets close the bag to turn it into an elegant “breadbox”. Just shut the edges of the bag on the magnets to keep bread fresh and crisp for a long time.
