I’m really stopping myself from making a ‘microplastics in my food’ joke but just look at this LEGO Fruits Basket and tell me it isn’t the cutest thing you’ve seen! Designed by LEGO builder Jagamax, this 1,257-piece kit contains an entire array of fruits, adding a pop to your interiors without any of the fruit flies. Just bury some potpourri underneath and you’ve got yourself a fruit basket that disperses the cool fragrance of fruity and floral notes around your apartment!
This fan-made submission to the LEGO Ideas forum makes for a great addition to LEGO’s existing Botanicals kit. Currently, the LEGO Botanicals kit is a nature-inspired series of LEGO bricksets designed to add flowers to your interiors. Some of them are gorgeous, and there’s a case to be made that the LEGO flowers are about as eye-catching as the originals, while never needing maintenance or watering. This Fruits Basket MOC (My Own Creation) is a lot like that too, giving your apartment a nice vibrant touch while also sort of making you crave fruits once in a while!
Designer: Jagamax
“I absolutely love the ‘realistic objects’ theme in LEGO, something we saw a lot during the first BDP in 2021 with sets like Pursuit of Flight, Sheriff’s Safe or Clockwork Aquarium, and more recently with the Antique Collection and LEGO Ideas sets like the Globe, the Typewriter, etc,” says Jagamax. “I think this set could perfectly fit right between that theme and the botanical collection!”
The bowl measures 22cm in diameter (or about 8.6 inches), and comes with an entire array of fruits. You’ve got a banana (with stickers), both red and green apples, a pear, both red and green grape clusters, two clementine slices, and a few cherries. Hilariously enough, Jagamax went the distance and detailed each fruit from the inside too, which means splitting a banana or apple across should reveal the flesh or the pit inside too! The bowl itself is fairly stylized too, looking like a classic porcelain vessel with glazed designs in blue and white.
Jagamax’s Fruits Basket is currently an entry on the LEGO Ideas forum. With over 2,000 votes, it’s slowly inching towards the 10k vote margin that will then send the entry to LEGO’s internal team, which will test viability for turning it into a retail box kit. If that does happen, think about how many new fruits we could see in the future! Mangoes, melons, pomegranates, strawberries, the list is quite literally endless! If you’d like to see this Fruits Basket become a reality, head down to the and give it your vote.
