ORBISTHE KITCHENWARE ISSUEHAY Kitchen Market brings kitchen tools together with tableware in Copenhagen, including glassware and serving pieces in its range. Florence's Mario Luca Giusti makes goblets and pitchers from colourful acrylic, giving its tableware the appearance of cut glass. Cookut adds practical kitchen gadgets from Lyon, including whipped-cream shakers stocked through Galeries Lafayette in Paris.
This plate lists 57 shops in 15 countries. Paris has the most with 10, followed by Tokyo with 4. Among these shops, 4 sell online, going by their own descriptions.
Ask what the material needs: carbon steel and copper each need different care from stainless steel, so ask before choosing.
Ask whether it suits your hob: check that a pan works on induction or your own cooker before buying it.
Ask about blades in luggage: kitchen knives cannot go in hand luggage, so plan to pack or ship them.
Use the city plates when they appear below, or open any store for its official door and related ORBIS city and craft links.

Kiso-Hirasawa, Shiojiri, Nagano, Japan
Yamaka Ogimura Shikkiten has sold lacquerware from its Kiso-Hirasawa storefront since founding in 1912, now run by third-generation proprietor Ogimura Minoru. The shop stocks everyday pieces such as cylindrical cherry-blossom-lacquered cups and red-rubbed cups and plates.
Best for Third-generation lacquer bowls and trays from a 1912-founded Hirasawa shop
Yamaka Ogimura Shikkiten (山加荻村漆器店) has traded lacquerware from the same address on the main street of Kiso-Hirasawa, Shiojiri, since its founding in Meiji 45 — 1912. The town is now a nationally protected preservation district for its lacquer-trade townscape, and the shop is one of its longer-running retailers.
The business is currently led by third-generation proprietor Ogimura Minoru, who has been covered in regional press (including the Nikkei) for the range of goods and approach he brings to a century-old family shop. The shop maintains an active blog, running since 2015 with well over a thousand entries, documenting both new products and the everyday use of lacquerware in the home.
On the shelf, Yamaka Ogimura carries pieces meant for daily use rather than display alone: cylindrical bowls finished in a cherry-blossom lacquer pattern, and cups and small plates in a red-rubbed (akazuri) finish that shows the wood grain through the coating. The shop's own framing emphasizes lacquerware as something to live with day to day, not a special-occasion object.
Omegna / Piedmont origin / Online
The Moka Express — Alfonso Bialetti's 1933 octagon from Lake Orta that made every Italian kitchen an espresso bar. Alfonso opened the Crusinallo aluminum workshop in 1919; the 1933 Moka is named for Mokha, Yemen.
Best for The octagonal Moka Express and the in-house roastery in Coccaglio, Brescia.
Bialetti's own site marks 1919 as the year the company began at its Coccaglio workshop outside Brescia, more than a decade before Alfonso Bialetti's octagonal Moka Express — the aluminum stovetop pot from Lake Orta that turned Italian kitchens into espresso bars — arrived in 1933. The company still operates its own roastery, La Torrefazione Bialetti, alongside the cookware lines that made the name a household fixture. Bialetti frames its identity around continuity: the site's own language, 'Reinventiamo il caffè dal 1919' (we've been reinventing coffee since 1919), and its claim to more than ninety years spent making 'the taste of being together.' The Moka's eight-sided aluminum body was engineered to distribute heat evenly across the base, forcing water up through the grounds under steam pressure — a design essentially unchanged since its debut and still the reference point for stovetop coffee worldwide. Recent decades have added licensing runs with Dolce & Gabbana, a Netflix tie-in, and The North Face, extending the brand into fashion and outdoor gear without retiring the core pot. What ships from Coccaglio today ranges from the original Moka through pressurized and electric variants, all roasted in-house rather than sourced out, which is unusual among mass-market Italian coffee names.
Vosges / French cookware / Online
French cookware maker founded 1830 as a metalworks in Le Val-d'Ajol, Vosges; family-owned since 1867, recognized as a 'Living Heritage Company,' known for its carbon-steel Mineral B pans.
Best for The Mineral B carbon steel pan from a Vosges maker since 1830
de Buyer traces to 1830, when a metallurgy works was established at the Faymont locality in Le Val-d'Ajol, in the Vosges department of northeastern France, initially producing sheet metal and hand-forged wrought-iron utensils from locally mined iron ore. The de Buyer family acquired the site in 1867 and industrialized production through the following century. The company remains headquartered in Le Val-d'Ajol and has been awarded France's 'Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant' designation. Its current catalogue runs to roughly 3,000 products across carbon steel, stainless steel, copper and non-stick aluminum cookware, plus mandolines, silicone molds and pastry tools.
Burgundy / Online
French ceramic kitchenware maker founded 1850 in Burgundy, producing handcrafted cocottes, bakeware, and tableware with 10-year guarantee.
Best for Flame-proof ceramic cocottes fired by the same Burgundy family since 1850
Emile Henry was established in 1850 and operates as a family-managed manufacturer of culinary ceramics based in Marcigny, Burgundy, where it maintains its artisan workshops and manufacturing operations. All pieces are handcrafted and signed by artisans using natural clay and traditional techniques, with a commitment to "made in France" production. The company produces a comprehensive range of cooking vessels including tajines, cocottes (Dutch ovens), bread molds, pizza dishes, cake pans, and tableware in various colors and sizes. Every item carries a 10-year guarantee reflecting the durability of the handmade construction. Emile Henry's philosophy centers on "the pleasure of good taste" and homemade cooking that brings people together, emphasizing quality craftsmanship alongside ancestral expertise. The brand has remained a cornerstone of French kitchenware for over 170 years, balancing innovation with traditional ceramic production methods.
Les Halles
Pastry-tool temple since 1814 — molds, rings and chocolate equipment of professional Les Halles. Gaspard Mora, a mould-maker/foreman, bought the house in the 1920s (Mora official 1924; Matfer parent timeline 1922) and the shop took his name; Matfer and Mora later split (1947 parent).

Besançon area / Franche-Comté / Online
Peugeot brothers converted their grain mill into a steel forge in 1810; the Z model pepper mill, launched in 1874, remains in production today as the company's most enduring design.
Best for Pepper and salt mills with lifetime mechanisms.
Peugeot Saveurs traces to 1810, when brothers Jean-Pierre and Jean-Frédéric Peugeot converted their father's grain mill in Franche-Comté into a steel foundry, initially producing saws, springs, and rolled steel rather than kitchenware. The company's first grinder, released in 1840, was a coffee mill rather than a pepper mill. The pepper mill line proper began in 1874 with the Z model, the first table pepper mill design the company sold; originally made in plain white china, it was later produced in silver-plated metal, Bakelite, and wood, and remains in production more than a century later, largely unchanged in mechanism. That grinding mechanism, a precision-machined steel mill designed to crush peppercorns evenly, became the basis of the company's reputation and is still manufactured in the Franche-Comté region. Peugeot Saveurs today makes salt, pepper, and coffee mills along with ceramic bakeware and wine accessories, continuing a production line with more than two centuries of history behind the original 1810 foundry.

Paris / Online
Paris tableware shop founded in 1977 by designer Aude Clement at 59 Boulevard Raspail, mixing hand-painted faience and porcelain, crystal, and antique silverware with contemporary decorative pieces.
Best for Tableware glassware and decorative objects with an old-world French hospitality mood
Au Bain Marie was founded in Paris in 1977 by designer and stylist Aude Clement, and has operated for nearly 50 years blending antiques with contemporary design in the tableware space. Its main showroom is at 59 Boulevard Raspail in the 6th arrondissement, with a second gallery location at 56 rue de l'Universite in the 7th. The shop's range includes hand-painted faience and porcelain dinnerware, crystal and glassware, decorative cutlery, silverware, table linens, and genuine antiquities alongside newly made pieces.

Paris
Guy Degrenne makes stainless-steel flatware in Vire, Normandy, and porcelain dinnerware at its Limoges manufacture. Founded in 1948, the French house supplies tableware for domestic use as well as professional hospitality. Its current Paris shop directory should be used for a visit, since older boutique addresses may no longer match the published list.
Best for French stainless-steel flatware and Limoges porcelain dinnerware
Guy Degrenne is a French tableware house founded in 1948, with stainless-steel flatware and porcelain among its products. Its manufacturing story connects two places: Vire in Normandy for flatware, and Limoges for porcelain. These are production locations, distinct from the Paris boutiques where customers can compare pieces for their own tables.
At Vire, stainless steel is worked into cutlery designed for use by home customers as well as professional chefs. The Limoges manufacture produces dinnerware, with collections exploring different forms and surface finishes. A fork and a porcelain plate therefore involve different materials and manufacturing processes, even when chosen from the same house.
For a purchase, start with the pieces that need replacing or the number of settings you want to assemble. Compare the cutlery's weight and shape alongside the plates you expect to use with it. The official store directory identifies current Paris boutiques, so use that listing when planning a visit rather than an older address.
Paris / Online
Paris professional kitchen outfitter since 1921 — copper cookware, cutlery, and working-chef essentials.
Best for Professional copper cookware and knives for chefs since 1921, from Les Halles
La Bovida was founded in 1921 as a small meat company and later expanded into professional kitchen equipment supply. In 1925, it merged with the Godefroy Spice Shop, forming an excellent firm specializing in quality raw materials and kitchen utensils for professional chefs. The merger gave La Bovida its enduring symbol: the Caravelle ship. Located on Rue Montmartre near the Étienne Marcel metro station, not far from the former Les Halles neighborhood, La Bovida has served butchers, charcuterie shops, and professional kitchens for over a century. Only recently did the company open its doors to the general public, allowing home cooks to browse the shop's curated selection. Inventory includes top-quality ergonomic zesters, icing bags, pepper mills, coffee sets, corkscrews, whipped cream siphons, tableware, sauté pans, and much more at competitive prices. The store remains a destination for working chefs seeking professional-grade equipment and Paris's culinary tradition of quality materials and craftsmanship.

Paris / Online
French tableware and design brand founded in 2008, known for its Breton-style bowls handcrafted at a pottery near Pornic, Brittany; exhibits annually at the Maison & Objet trade fair.
Best for Playful French tableware, gifts, and colorful design objects for the home
Pied de Poule has been designing French tableware and decorative objects since 2008, built around reinterpreting everyday household items with color and humor rather than a conventional home-goods catalogue. One of its recurring lines is a set of Breton-style bowls, handcrafted at a pottery near Pornic on France's Atlantic coast in Brittany, made-in-France pieces the brand foregrounds over imported alternatives. The company is based at 59 rue de l'Ourcq in the 19th arrondissement, with a separate retail shop at 17 rue Lambert near Lamarck-Caulaincourt in the 18th arrondissement. It exhibits regularly at the Maison & Objet trade fair, the Paris design and home-goods showcase, positioning its collections toward buyers and retailers as well as individual shoppers. The brand's focus on domestically produced, design-forward tableware and small objects places it within a broader wave of French manufacturers marketing 'Made in France' provenance as a specific selling point rather than a general claim.

French non-stick cookware since 1956 — Marc Gregoire's revolutionary PTFE-bonded aluminum from Rumilly factory.
Best for The 1956 non-stick pan and Ingenio stacking cookware system
Tefal is a French cookware brand that pioneered the non-stick cookware category. The brand was founded by French engineer Marc Gregoire, who watched his wife struggling with food sticking in a traditional pan and had the revolutionary idea to bond PTFE (Teflon) to aluminum. In 1956, Gregoire set up the T-fal company in Sarcelles, France, producing his innovative non-stick frying pans. The success was immediate, with millions of French kitchens acquiring Tefal products. In 1961, Tefal began exporting to the United States and was eagerly adopted by Jackie Kennedy, then First Lady. The same year, Tefal created its production site in Rumilly, 20 kilometers west of Annecy, establishing the facility that remains central to the brand's manufacturing. The company has been owned by Groupe SEB (a global manufacturer of cookware) since 1968. Tefal is known for creating the non-stick cookware category and for offering frying equipment with minimal requirement of fat or oils. In the United States, Tefal is marketed as T-fal. The brand's Ingenio stacking system revolutionized cookware efficiency and modularity.

Best for Carbon steel woks, cleavers and steamers on Grant Avenue
The Wok Shop stands at 718 Grant Avenue in San Francisco's Chinatown, between Sacramento and Clay. It has sold woks for more than forty-eight years, which the shop states in its own page title rather than in any press release. The stock is narrow and deep. Woks come with the accessories that make them work, including steamers, cleavers, hot pot equipment, tableware, crockery, plus small tools that never reach a department store. Seasoning advice comes with the pan, and the shop publishes its own video walking a buyer through the process. A second film covers a lighter seasoning method with the cook Grace Young. The shop points customers toward Wok Wednesdays, a group cooking its way through Young's book The Breath of a Wok, which won the IACP International Cookbook Award and the Jane Grigson Award. Recipes there are posted twice a month and anyone can join. The shop also recommends the Wok Wiz walking tour of Chinatown for people who want the neighbourhood as well as the pan.

Nakameguro, Tokyo
KINTO makes understated Japanese tableware and coffee gear, with a "MARK IT" service that engraves pieces to order. Its Futo textile line and its own KINTO Farm herbal teas extend the same everyday-ritual design brief beyond the table.
Best for Understated, functional Japanese tableware and coffee pourover gear from a family-run maker
KINTO was founded in 1972 in Hikone, Shiga, by Hideo Koide, originally as a wholesaler of porcelain and ceramic tableware rather than a design brand. The shift toward original product design came gradually: from the mid-1990s, recognizing a growing market for tableware suited to modern, pared-down living, the company began developing its own lines instead of only distributing others'. That transition produced the aesthetic KINTO is now known for -- functional glass and ceramic pieces, pour-over drippers, tumblers, and coffee accessories built around quiet, everyday use rather than display. The company has remained family-owned since founding, with Koide's sons continuing to run it, and its global footprint has grown steadily since 2010, with dedicated KINTO Europe (2016) and KINTO USA (2019) operations extending the brand well beyond Japan. Alongside tableware and drinkware, KINTO now also runs its own herbal tea farm and offers custom engraving through its "MARK IT BY KINTO" personalization service. The brand's stated design philosophy centers on comfort that feels natural in daily use while quietly adding color and depth to a space -- an unusually literal expression, for a five-decade-old wholesaler turned design house, of function driving form rather than the reverse.

Achrafieh / Online
Images d'Orient creates tableware and home accessories inspired by Mediterranean visual heritage. Founded by siblings Peggy Raphaël Dabar and Charbel Raphaël in 2000, the brand applies its patterns to objects such as coasters and trays. Its first Beirut boutique opened in 2019, bringing the collections into a dedicated retail space.
Best for Mediterranean-patterned tableware and home accessories
Images d'Orient began in 2000 as a venture between a brother and a sister who had come back home to Lebanon. The founding impulse was preservation rather than commerce. Their argument was that everything was being modernised and disappearing into a new aesthetic, one in which their own roots were fading.
What came out of it is a design house paying tribute to the legacy of past civilisations and to Mediterranean heritage. It makes tableware and home pieces whose look the house describes as both vintage and futuristic. Ancient motifs are carried on modern forms rather than reproduced.
The brand ran for two decades before it had a shop of its own. The first boutique opened in Beirut in March 2019, which is an unusual order of events and tells you the design came first.
Today the collections reach more than fifty countries. People started to identify themselves in the designs, as the house puts it, and a label with a recognisable character was the result.

Noto / Online
THE WAJIMA is Senshudo's online store for Wajima-nuri lacquerware from Japan's Noto region, built through a 124-step layered process. Sake cups, bowls, plates and tea utensils are documented with 3D cross-section analysis of the lacquer.
Best for 124-step Wajima-nuri lacquerware and tableware
THE WAJIMA is Senshudo's online store for Wajima-nuri, the lacquerware tradition centered on Japan's Noto Peninsula and presented by the shop as among the finest lacquerware made anywhere. The craft is defined by scale rather than shortcuts: the site describes a "124+1" sequence of distinct production steps, refined across generations of Noto artisans, that builds the lacquer surface up in many thin, hand-polished layers until it holds a deep, even color and a durability meant to last centuries. Senshudo backs that claim with an unusual piece of documentation - what it presents as the first analysis of Wajima lacquerware using micron-precision 3D scanning to examine the lacquer in cross-section, tracing how the layered structure produces its strength rather than leaving the claim as folklore. The catalog runs from sake cups and rice bowls to plates and tea utensils, alongside a "zero series" collection and lacquered pet bowls, all sold for worldwide shipping. A running blog, "Winds of Wajima," and regular exhibition listings keep the operation visibly tied to the craft community around it rather than functioning as a generic import shop. For anyone drawn to Japanese tea utensils specifically, the appeal is the material history behind each piece - a technique measured in dozens of coats and generations of practice, not a single finish.
