Konfal has come up with a clever way to make fruit storage a little more versatile. Its Convertible Fruit Basket can be used upright to hold produce or flipped over to cover food such as bread, pastries and cheese, keeping insects away while still allowing air to circulate.
There's more to it than a simple basket, too. A removable inner bowl makes it easy to carry fruit or nuts to the table, while the rubber wood lid doubles as a serving board for sliced bread and snacks. The powder-coated metal mesh design is available in warm grey or black.
The basket is currently available for pre-order at $42, a 29% saving on its usual $59 price. It's a handy option for anyone looking to get more use out of their kitchen accessories without adding another single-purpose item to the counter.
