Kitchenware

Kitchenware that earns its place on the worktop

The kitchen is the room most of us actually live in, so the things in it should pull their weight twice — once as tools, once as objects worth looking at. Our kitchenware edit is built around three ideas: natural materials, honest making, and pieces that look better with use.

You'll find olive wood chopping boards with that golden grain you can't replicate in beech, European linen tea towels that get softer every wash, hand-thrown stoneware mugs and bowls, oak salt cellars, and the occasional reclaimed piece picked up on travels.

Why olive wood

Olive wood is naturally antibacterial, denser than maple, and almost too pretty to chop on — but you should chop on it, because it just looks better with the marks of use. Each board is one piece (no joins), hand-finished with food-safe oil. Re-oil monthly and a good board will outlive you.

Linen for the kitchen

European flax linen is more absorbent than cotton, dries faster, and doesn't go grey after fifty washes the way kitchen cotton does. Our linen tea towels are pre-washed so they're soft from day one, and the weave is heavy enough to actually dry a pan.

Small batches, real makers

Most of our kitchenware comes from small workshops — a wood-turner in the Lake District, a flax mill in Lithuania, a stoneware studio in Stoke. Nothing mass-produced. Stock can be limited, especially seasonally.
