Bread bins

The bread bin is the sort of accessory that pulls a kitchen together. It's the small details, after all, that make a room feel personal and harmonious. Beyond its good looks, the bread bin keeps your bread and pastries in perfect condition for several days. By keeping air out, it preserves the freshness of your baked goods while protecting them from mould. The lidless version, the bread basket, isn't designed for storage as such, but it does catch stray crumbs. It helps keep your kitchen and your home tidy despite the crumbly nature of the food in question. Bread baskets, whether enclosed bins or open baskets, are above all about serving your bread elegantly at the table.

The Cool Team has picked out its favourite designs from brands such as Yamazaki, Bloomingville and Nicolas Vahé. Expect outstanding quality across pieces that vary in colour, material and design. Bread baskets come in a multitude of shapes and styles to suit any kitchen and interior, without ever losing sight of their primary purpose. Choose your bread bin and take the opportunity to browse our selection of designer food storage jars, for a complete storage set-up for all your favourite foods.

Japanese brand Yamazaki offers the Tower bread bin, a clever design with a contemporary feel. Wonderfully pared-back, it slips effortlessly into a Scandinavian-inspired interior. As well as offering generous capacity, it's multifunctional thanks to its bamboo lid, which doubles as a bread board. No more sitting down only to realise you've forgotten the bread knife: the Tower bread bin has a dedicated slot for it. The use of plastic allows for a precise drawer finish, creating an optimal airtight seal and therefore long-lasting freshness. Available in black or white.

Nicolas Vahé, meanwhile, favours a natural material – seagrass – for its Bread baskets. Available in two different sizes, they allow you to present two types of bread or pastries while maintaining a sense of harmony and consistency on the table or in the kitchen. And if one bread basket is enough for you, the other is perfect for storing fruit and vegetables. The woven finish has a distinctly traditional feel that suits a vintage interior, yet also makes a lovely addition to a more contemporary home.

Bloomingville has opted for variety across its range. Take the Malika bamboo basket, for instance. Available in black or in the natural shade of bamboo, it brings an organic touch to your kitchen and lets you serve bread to your guests with that little bit more elegance. Do you love the idea of a restaurant-style cloche gracing your table? Then you'll love the Basilic Acacia bread basket, which takes its cue from that very shape. Designed to keep bread and pastries fresh, it dresses your kitchen with a natural yet understated look.
