Ridge Kitchen by Visibility, a New York-based design studio founded by Sino Sohrab and Joseph Guerra, is a set of dishes that brings a stylish cohesion to the culinary space in that is both impactful and minimalist. Yet for all of its simplicity, the collection does feature a notable design that sets them apart from other similar products: pretty pleats.
Made up of three pieces, Ridge Kitchen by Visibility addresses a number of needs. First there is a pitcher that can easily double as a vase for flowers or a holder for utensils. Second is a small handheld grater and third is a classic mortar and pestle. Core77 writes, "The grooved patterns indicate where the tool should be gripped, making it easy to intuit the objects' use."
