Description
Beautiful five-piece vintage set from Brabantia consisting of an orange bread bin and four orange storage containers. The design is by Patrice van Uden, recognizable by the stylized fuchsia flowers, Brabantia's famous floral print.

This bread bin is suitable as a stand-alone, but has two screw holes on the back, making it also suitable for wall mounting. The storage tins have a loose chrome lid and can be used to store tea, coffee, sugar, rusk, etc.

The popular Patrice design by Patrice van Uden was introduced by Brabantia in 1970. This design is recognizable by its brown and cyclamen coloured flowers on an orange background. The “flower element” was first cut from paper and then assembled, after which it was screen-printed in two colours for the “artisanal look” of the pattern. The design became one of the most popular Brabantia designs ever.

Brabantia is a company founded in the Dutch village of Aalst and manufactures metal and plastic household products. Today, the head office is located in Valkenswaard, North Brabant. Production no longer takes place in the Netherlands.

The company started in 1919 with 15 employees under the name Van Elderen & Co. It was originally a metal goods company that supplied to agriculture and the cigar industry: milk sieves, buckets, funnels, watering cans and cigar tins.

When it was founded in 1919, the company was named "Van Elderen & Co". After some time the name changed to "Van Elderen's Metalware Factories Brabantia". From about 1941 the first part of the name has been omitted, and it is only "Brabantia". Brabantia is the Latin word for Brabant (Dutch Province).

Brabantia was founded in 1919 in the Dutch town of Aalst by a group of 15 people. A family business pur sang. Then and now. With a firm belief in honest products, made by people with a heart for quality. Ideas focused on sustainability - designed for living.
