Ibiza Food Cover

Eating outside is the point of a terrace in Dubai, and flies are the reason people give up on it. Ibiza solves that without putting a plastic dome on your table: a slim bamboo frame with fine mesh stretched over it, light enough to lift with one hand and sheer enough that the food still looks like food underneath.

About the size and use.

Sized to cover a serving platter, a bowl of fruit, a cake or a spread of bakes. Use it on an outdoor dining table, on a kitchen counter to keep bread and pastries covered, or over a buffet at a gathering. The mesh keeps insects out while letting air circulate, so food stays fresh rather than sweating under a solid lid.

About the material.

A natural bamboo frame with a fine mesh panel. The bamboo is left in its natural tone, which sits comfortably with rattan, linen and wooden servingware rather than fighting them. Handmade, so small variations in the frame and weave are normal.

Where it works.

On a terrace or balcony table for al fresco meals. At a poolside gathering. On a kitchen counter over a fruit bowl or fresh bakes. As part of a styled table setting where a plastic cover would ruin the look.

Care.

Wipe the bamboo frame with a dry or barely damp cloth. Brush the mesh gently to remove crumbs. Do not soak or put in a dishwasher. Store dry, and keep out of prolonged direct sun, which dries bamboo over time.
