Flexible Swiss pine bread box | in 3 sizes | optionally with mesh and beeswax cloth or baker's linen | handcrafted in Austria

Our bread box made of natural Swiss stone pine is available in 3 different sizes. Its simple design turns this traditional bread container into a real eye-catcher! The Swiss stone pine grille is a practical accessory that ensures optimal air circulation around the baked goods. This significantly reduces the formation of mold. The bread cloth (size 30 x 50 cm) also regulates the moisture of the bread and keeps it fresh for longer. The beeswax cloth (30 x 30 cm) keeps the bread fresh for longer and can be used as a reusable packaging.

Tip: The scent of the essential oils of the Swiss stone pine is very intense in new products. If you do not want the stored bread to absorb too much of the Swiss stone pine scent, simply leave the bread box open for a few days to ‘air out’.

Long ago, farmers in the Alps liked to use Swiss stone pine to build bread boxes. The bread was supposed to stay fresh for a long time in these high-quality bread boxes. Today, the demand for fresh baked goods remains high.

This flexible bread box is designed so that it:

• on the one hand can be attached under one of the upper kitchen cabinets. This saves space and keeps the work surface clear. The bread box can be mounted so that the flap can be opened either upwards or forwards.
  
• on the other hand, thanks to the flexible opening mechanism, there is plenty of storage space even when standing on the work surface, and plenty of free space above it. In this version too, the flap can be opened upwards or downwards.

Thus, the Swiss stone pine bread box is also well suited for smaller kitchens and/or can be individually adapted.

Due to the simplicity and construction of the bread box, the minimalist piece of furniture can be used in a variety of ways. In the hallway as a shelf and storage space for keys and similar items, in the bedroom as a hanging bedside table or as storage with an eye-catching effect throughout the entire home.

To optimally ventilate and keep baked goods fresh, a matching Swiss stone pine grille is available as an accessory for every bread box size. By resting the bread on the grille, the air can also circulate under the bread pieces and reduce mold formation. 
Baked goods wrapped in the long-lasting beeswax cloth stay fresh for a long time, and the delicious snack can be stored space-savingly in a bag.
The baker's linen has the property of regulating the water balance of the wrapped foods. Depending on the moisture, the linen absorbs moisture and also releases it. The foods stay fresh for a long time due to this effect.

Workmanship

This bread box is built to be sturdy & durable. The wood is carefully selected for its quality and properties so that the box does not warp. The woods are all untreated so that the bread can be stored naturally. The body itself is pocket-screwed and glued.  


Cleaning

To clean the bread box, simply wipe it with a damp cloth to preserve the self-cleaning effect of the natural wood. Cleaning with a damp cloth reactivates the intensity of the Swiss stone pine scent. Please be sure to let the bread box dry properly before closing it and, if necessary, let it ‘air out’ for a few more days.
For heavier soiling, the surface can be polished with very fine-grit sandpaper.

Linen care instructions

Beeswax cloth care:

• Simply rinse the wax cloth under cold to maximum lukewarm water after use or wipe it with a damp cloth.
• The cloths can also tolerate a little dish soap here and there, but it is better and more sustainably disinfected with a splash of table or apple cider vinegar.
• After drying, either use it again immediately or, preferably, roll it up and keep it within reach in a container or in a drawer until the next use. Rolling it up helps extend its lifespan.
