Beautiful Bennington
works hard in the kitchen

At Bennington, the essential design happens through the hands. Yes, we do drawings, work with concepts. But, it is as we make one — the first one — that the conversation of heart, hand, eye and mind accomplishes the work of design. You feel this reality when you use this, our homage to the traditional New England batter bowl.
