Bread Baskets
Bread baskets for serving at the table
A bread basket keeps bread, rolls and pastries together and makes them easy to serve directly at the table. Use one for breakfast and brunch or for baguettes, rolls and other bread served with lunch or dinner.
As the basket remains visible throughout the meal, its shape, material and colour can also become part of the table setting.
How to choose a bread basket
Start with the type and amount of bread you usually serve. A compact round basket works well for rolls and smaller pieces of bread, while a larger format provides more room when several people are sharing.
Also consider how much space the basket can take up between plates, pitchers and other serving pieces.
Bread baskets with a fabric liner
A fabric liner gives bread a soft base and can help collect crumbs during the meal. If the liner is removable and washable, it can also be cleaned separately from the basket.
Always follow the care instructions for the individual product.
Metal bread baskets
A metal basket creates a clean, structured shape on the table. Combined with a fabric liner, it introduces a contrast between the firm basket and softer textile.
Pair your bread basket with a salt and pepper set or other everyday serving details.
From breakfast to dinner
A bread basket can move between different meals throughout the day. At breakfast, pair it with mugs and bowls, while at lunch or dinner it can sit alongside a pitcher and other serving pieces.
Can a bread basket be used for other foods?
Some designs can also be used for fruit or vegetables when the textile liner is removed. Always check the individual product information before using a basket for a different purpose.
