Pełne ziarno (Whole grain) – bread basket with a chopping board
Upholstery, upholstery fabric, beech wood
The natural way to store bread is to wrap it in a cloth. The "Whole grain" is a set: a basket for bread and a chopping board. The set, which was made in an upholstery workshop allows you to meet several needs: from storing the bread through slicing to displaying it on the table. The form is designed so that the seams serve as hinges. This allows the fabric to be curled which changes its function. It is finished with a traditional hand-seam which makes the product unique. The combination of a linen basket for bread and a wooden board is a reference to soft material sewing and woodwork, which are characteristic of upholstery.
