John Truex designes DEAR CHARLIE for Alessi, an original and versatile banana holder. This steel banana holder is shaped like a branch and can support easily your banana bunch. The object is stable and steady, thanks to its weight and rubber base that counterbalance fruit weight. Once hung on it, bananas will endure much longer since they avoid other fruit ripening gases. You can use DEAR CHARLIE as a stand for other fruit or vegetables, such as grapes or chili pepper bunches. You can even turn it into a jewellery stand to hang rings, bracelets and earrings. DEAR CHARLIE’s dimensions are L.16,5 W.9,5 H.28 cm and is made of chromed zamak.
