10 Easy Pieces: Glass Storage Containers
From Janet:
Recently, on a visit to the Cooper Hewitt museum in NYC, I spotted the modular Kubus stacking containers designed by Wilhelm Wagenfeld in 1935. Plainly gorgeous, but plainly unattainable (turns out original sets sell for hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars).
Inspired, I went on a search for modern-day versions of the iconic containers and found a few options that bring a beyond-Tupperware stylishness to food storage. Plus, it’s healthier and more eco-friendly to use glass rather than plastic.
