Bespoke Place Settings Will Ensure Your Dinner Party Is Like No Other

Swedish chef Fredrik Berselius draws inspiration, and ingredients, for his two-Michelin-starred Aska from the Catskills in New York. When his Brooklyn restaurant outgrew its original site six years ago and needed to move, he decided to use the time to refine every aspect of his operation. One element in particular Berselius wanted? Custom crockery.

Much like he’d want to know the family making the wines he serves or the farmers who grow his produce, “I wanted to know the person behind the vessels and have a dialogue about them,” he says. “And what I was looking for I could not buy in a store: clean, white vessels that were a canvas for the food we were cooking but still felt handmade.”
