Lumber Loaf Cages

The Breadpit is a Quirky Culinary Object for Protecting Your Fresh Grains

— January 9, 2014 — Art & Design
Grains are staple edibles in many households throughout the world and the Breadpit serves as another welcome means of keeping the freshness of such baked goods preserved. Designed by Florian Hauswirth, this delightfully domestic object deviates from the familiar breadbox and bread basket, and it's far more effective than leaving a loaf in its paper bag.

A beautiful wooden cutting board acts as the base of the Breadpit, providing a place to slice it into single servings. Aesthetically, this component behaves like a sort of pedestal. Thin strips of timber have been bent and joined to create a cage-like structure within the perimeter of the Breadpit's foundation. This gives your loaf some room to breath beneath a soft cloth cover.
Trend Themes
1. Fresh Grain Preservation - The Breadpit's innovative design offers a new way to keep baked goods fresh, creating opportunities for packaging and storage solutions focused on grain preservation.
2. Alternative Bread Storage - The Breadpit's departure from traditional breadboxes and baskets opens possibilities for disruptive innovation in the bread storage industry, prompting the development of unique and stylish bread storage solutions.
3. Artistic Culinary Objects - The Breadpit's aesthetic appeal as a wooden cutting board and cage-like structure inspires a trend of creating artistic culinary objects that are both functional and visually pleasing.
Industry Implications
1. Packaging and Storage - The bread preservation trend creates opportunities for new players in the packaging and storage industry to develop innovative solutions for keeping grains fresh.
2. Kitchenware - The alternative bread storage trend creates demand for unique bread storage options, leading to disruptive innovation in the kitchenware industry.
3. Artisanal Home Goods - The artistic design of the Breadpit opens up possibilities for artisanal home goods companies to create unique and visually appealing culinary objects that enhance the overall dining experience.
