Ambi is both a basket and a tray, depending on which way you turn it. Used one way, it takes the form of a podium that lifts the contents up. If you turn it the other way, it becomes a basket that holds more. Vegetables and fruit that should not be close together can easily be distributed on each side of the basket – or fill it to the brim with freshly baked rolls for weekend breakfast. Ambi is plaited by hand from straw and palm leaves and is a nice decoration detail even when it is not in use. Designed by Kristine Bjaadal.
