Brad Leone x JPD Spoon Rests

When we first talked with frequent collaborator Brad Leone about spoon rests, we were thrilled to discover that he has a pretty strong opinion about them: He likes 'em tall. His reasoning? It's a sturdier way to keep your spoon clean and in-place when you're not mid-stir. He makes a compelling argument for it! That said, we know people appreciate options, so we developed a flat version too, which is the style you're probably used to seeing on a counter top. The only thing left for you to do? Pick a side! Flat: 6.5" diameter x 1" height and weighs about 1 lb. Tall: Roughly the size of a 28 oz. tomato can.. The Brad Leone Spoon Rest will ship within 5 - 10 business days.

In 2004, as Danny Meyer was preparing to re-open MoMA’s Terrace 5 Café and Café 2, his then-employee, future restaurateur and owner of Make It Nice hospitality group, Will Guidara, commissioned Jono Pandolfi to design a chocolate dishes, chopstick holders, and a set of bud vases for the project. In hindsight, this was it: Jono’s big break. What has followed in the 20 years since has spanned ceramics studios from Queens to Union City, New Jersey, where the operation has grown from a single kiln to more than a dozen and a one-man operation is now a team of 24 artisans. We’ve served over 750 hospitality clients, more than 15,000 home cooks, and, sometime last year, we’re pretty sure we made our one millionth plate. Featuring reissues from the archive and new collaborations with chefs, this Special Edition Anniversary collection is a celebration of 20 years of making the world a better plate.
