## Overview

The Alessi Dear Charlie Banana Holder, designed by John True, is a chrome-plated zamak accessory that elegantly suspends bananas to extend freshness by reducing contact with ripening gases. Its weighted rubber base ensures stability on any surface, while its sleek design doubles as a holder for other fruits or jewelry. Compact and easy to maintain, this piece combines Italian artistry with practical function, making it a must-have for design-conscious professionals.

## Description

Dear Charlie was designed by John True. Dear Charlie is a support for bananas, whose shape is reminiscent of a small branch. The hanging bananas do not come into contact with the ripening gasses of other fruits and therefore are preserved in the most appropriate manner. The rubber-covered base, together with the object's weight, guarantees stability on every surface. Dear Charlie can also be used as a support for other fruit or vegetables - a bunch of grapes, chilies, garlic - or it can hold jeweler such as rings, bracelets and earrings.

Review: Elegant, effective, keeps its shine - What more can I say? For years, I'd put my banana bunches in a big, ventilated bowl with lots of other fruits and avocados. Thing is, the bananas would tend to ripen up so fast they'd get bruised in that bowl. So I thought I'd give a proper banana tree a try? I looked at dozens of models here at desertcart, and figured, if I want a permanent solution to storing bananas, why not spend a bit more. I bought this very elegant, chrome Alessi Banana Holder and have been using it for several months now. It never looses its shine! I clean it with just purified water (from my water filter tank) and a microfiber towel. Voila! It's shining like brand new again. I hang my banana bunches on it and they never bruise. The air can circulate around the fruit better, too, so I think I get an extra day or two before the bananas get brown. Really pleased with this clever, sleek device.
Review: Beautifully super-superflu for aesthetic lovers - I have always been a big fan of Italian design (grazie nonna) and particularly Alessi that now is completely part of the consumption society. I hesitated a long time before buying this holder because it is not really necessary to have a banana holder especially when you know that bananas are disappearing in certain part of the world due to the Panama disease caused by a mushroom (Fusarium oxysporum) which progression we do not know to stop. Yet, I decided it would be my only present for Xmas and I do not regret it. It is, as usual with Alessi, a beautiful object that contributes to make the world around you more pleasant. And there is nothing more important than having here and there a beautiful something to put your eyes on just to make you forget just for a few seconds the world necessary ugliness (ugliness is essential to appreciate beauty after all) :-) Alessi stainless steel is beautiful, but fragile so you need to really pay attention to the objects you have especially if you use them daily and you want to do so because design has to be functional and aesthetic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Modern, well-made
*by M***N on July 7, 2019*

Beautiful and sturdy. Holds large bunches of bananas. Looks good on the counter. I think it was a bit too expensive for a banana holder and it’s is not as eye catching as other Alessi items, but honestly it was the nicest holder I could find and I want the bananas to last longer in the house.
