These tees were hand-dyed by Cara Marie Piazza at her Williamsburg, Brooklyn studio using natural materials like marigold, indigo, and madder. The shirts are made by Comfort Colors, which means they only get softer over time. Our studio neighbor Oscar printed them with our “Making the World a Better Plate” tagline and logo. The circle logo is the same one we stamp onto all of our dinnerware.
Shirts fit true to size and are available in two colorways:
-Blue and yellow (aka indigo and marigold)
-Blue and red (aka indigo and madder)
Inside the Studio
Our dinnerware is hand-made at a light-filled studio in Union City, New Jersey, by a team of 16 artisans. The studio is also where we quality check and pack up dozens of orders per day, which are then sent out to restaurants like Lilia, Jean-Georges, and Felix Trattoria and to serious home cooks all over the country.
Our Story
When Jono started the company in 2004, he had a simple mission: to design unique dinnerware options for the hospitality industry. He started small, with one wheel and one kiln, and collaborated with chefs, taking risks and learning from his mistakes. Then and now, his priority is to work directly with our clients, responding quickly and thoughtfully to their needs in ways that larger manufacturers can’t, resulting in dinnerware with a personal feel that sets our clients’ restaurants and dining rooms apart.
Our Process
Each piece that Jono has designed has its own unique production process, which can entail as many as 15 individual steps, and use methods such as slip casting, jiggering, and good old-fashioned wheel throwing. Our studio is equipped with 10 kilns and 6 wheels and we begin each day with the thrill of opening our Blaauw kiln to discover the finished pieces we loaded in the night before.
