Grove Tongs are designed to float and look dynamic in appearance on the buffet/kitchen table surface, giving an architectural feel through the singular arced radius on the underneath of the handle.

The end of the handle is one inclined sprung radius, the incline making the handle extremely comfortable in the palm of the users’ hand.

The utensil head is innovative with pierced cut-outs within the form of the head, these cut-outs allow foodstuff to be gripped internally, with gentler cupping of the food so as not to damage the food. This has eliminated the historical serrated teeth that are frequently used in tongs.

Dishwasher Safe, 18/10 stainless steel, warranty 25 years. 100% recyclable service offered by Studio William.
