Up Your Salad Game With These Seriously Stylish Serving Spoons
There’s nothing like a fancy new utensil to elevate your summer tablescape. Of course you can use any old cutlery, but where’s the fun in that when you have serving spoons as beautiful as the ones we’ve picked out? Exactly.
Let’s face it, you’ve worked hard to create the perfect dinner table; from the tablecloth to the serving plates, so don’t forget the finishing touches. In this case, we’re talking about salad servers. You know those delicious dishes are crying out for them. For one, they offer functionality, allowing you to serve up your carefully crafted meals with little spillage, but they also add a sense of creativity and personality.
In many cases, the sets we’ve found have been handmade by local artisans. Designer Sarah Petherick’s range is all individually hand carved and finished by highly skilled craftsmen, using waste materials such as rosewood off-cuts from a furniture maker. Similarly, Doing Goods creates all its pieces in workshops in India. It truly is about keeping global skills alive.
Salads need not be boring. Look to creations from Doing Goods. With workshops in India and Indonesia, the brand specialises in handmade products that embrace the Japanese philosophy of ‘wabi-sabi’ – the perfectly imperfect. So each and every item is unique with its own story to tell.
