I worked on the three shapes for our Oval Platters at the same time. I knew I wanted them to nest within each other, and the goal was that there would be a perfect interval between each size, so they'd all be useful for different recipes.

After the Breakfast Bowl came to life, it inspired our first group of pieces that had a relationship to each other. I set out making smaller bowls, using the same lopsided table as the Breakfast Bowl.

I have had a longterm infatuation with cast iron. As an annoying (ahem, precocious?) little guy, I demanded my mom get one so we could cook like they do on the Food Network. I fell in love (and still have!)  with my official Emeril Legassi (TM) 10" skillet from a big box store.

When I started working on the Rice Bowl, I was thinking about  traditional Japanese lacquerware...  simple, beautiful, and made to travel.   

A favorite of interior designers, chefs, and Food & Wine Magazine, our Ripple Large pasta bowls are inspired by traditional soup plates.
