Ready, Set, Go

Forks need to be heavy, said hip-hop mogul Jay-Z while planning the VIP booths for Brooklyn's Barclays Center, opening this month. We concur—the modern tabletop is all about the tactile details.
Rondo Flatware
$85.00Stainless steel may be the modern flatware standard, but warm-toned metals are making a comeback. This line is designed by a Portuguese company schooled in the fine art of cutlery craftsmanship.
Colour Porcelain
One of Japan’s oldest porcelain manufacturers, Arita, hired Dutch duo Scholten & Baijings to design a minimalist tabletop collection using traditional Japanese glazes like yellow ochre and aquarelle blue.
Hexa Stacking Wine Rack
$25.00The modular storage unit is made of walnut veneer and, like a beehive, can pack a multitude of storage nooks into a small space.
Revolution Tagine
$300.00Made in France, Revol cookware is known for its durability. Its new Revolution line can withstand any temperature, which makes it a breeze to serve and display food from stove to tabletop to freezer to dishwasher.
Sushi Queen Flatware
$24.00The elongated stems of this set suggest chopsticks with the function of Western cutlery. Choose among five types of wood handles, including ones in wenge and teak.
Puzzle Tray
$499.00A limited run of 112 trays was commissioned by the Napa Valley winery Newton Vineyard, each equally suited to serving hors d’oeuvres as wine. Asymmetrical cross-hatching references the region’s terraced topography.
Gold Matte Flatware
$59.00Stainless steel and matte gold on one utensil? The effect is far from Frankenstein-ian when the silhouettes are this streamlined.
