After running restaurants for decades, we’ve developed very particular relationships with the objects we use every day. These pieces have made our work easier, our tables more beautiful, our service smoother. This is the vocabulary of a working life. Objects chosen not for what they signify but for what they accomplish, day after day, service after service, year after year. A collection of proof, provenance and a few obsessions.

A Small Prelude —

a top-down view of an oval ruffled platter holding several speckled quail eggs against a white surface
stack of cream-colored ceramic bowls and plates with organic, ruffled edges sits on a white shelf
right green pear and a halved lime sitting in a small, square silver pedestal dish with beaded edges
a top-down view of three clear, glass shell-shaped plates
a single tall, slender stemmed glass filled with water and ice cubes
cream-colored ruffled ceramic bowl containing a few long-stemmed, dark red flowers
bedroom with pink curtains, a gold console table, a patterned bedspread, and a bright pink velvet stool
a collection of varied, elegant glassware on a white tablecloth, including ribbed coupes, wine glasses, and a unique amber-stemmed glass
