RESTAURANTS, CHEFS, AND HOSPITALITY

For over 10 years, the hospitality industry has approached us in need of our design, modeling and production capabilities. From three star Michelin restaurants to local wine bars, we make for a wide range of concepts, using an array of different materials and design skills.

RESTORATION HARDWARE

We make a walnut serving board for all 15 of RH’s gallery restaurants in North America. Each restaurant receives about 100 boards upon opening. We have also established a RESTORATION program with RH. Every couple of months, a restaurant will send a batch of boards back to us so we can mill, sand and apply a fresh coat of oil. This keeps the boards looking great with the heavy daily use they receive at these busy new restaurant concepts.

STAINLESS STEEL FLATWARE RESTS

Our shop has 30+ years of mold making experience. This skill, plus our foundry connections across the country allows us to create incredibly unique accents for the tabletop. Our advanced coating allows for dishwasher safe pieces that can come to the table in wide range of colors and patinas.

LE BERNARDIN

We have made a total of 19 unique designs for this three star Michelin restaurant since 2016. Our line of Chef’s Bright Metal Serveware was developed in collaboration with Eric Ripert and his team. The advanced coating needs no polishing and can withstand the rigors of a busy restaurant. It is dishwasher safe and uncommonly - made in the USA.

JEAN-GEORGES

We have worked closely with Jean-Georges lead tabletop designer for many years now. Our primary work is unique wooden bowls for bread service at over 8+ restaurants across the world.

ALDO SOHM WINE BAR

Designed in collaboration with Aldo Sohm and Eric Ripert. This unique Artifaqt design allows the bar to serve a wide variety of charcuterie efficiently and beautifully in the small tabletop environment of the wine bar. The smooth turntable allows everyone to sample their favorites without the usual reaching and passing.

LE JARDINIER

In addition to the Asparagus Flatware Rests that you saw above, we designed black walnut check presenters and marking trays for Le Jardinier’s Houston and NYC locations.

UNIQUE PLACEMAT DESIGNS

Our first placemat was designed for Alain Verzeroli’s restaurant, SHUN in NYC. Wood veneer fabricated to a special surface that eliminates the warping characteristic of real wood. The pieces below were prototype designs for Cartier in NYC.

TRIA WINE BAR

These boards are now at service at Tria, a wine, beer, and cheese bar with several locations in downtown Philadelphia. Our guiding spirit Madame Fromage runs their cheese program and displays her worldwide knowledge of our boards.

Made with ultra rich Black Walnut from the Allegheny Mountains, they set the stage for Tria’s cheese lovers to indulge.
