Our Story

We've found wares we're fond of.

Fondware is an online curated shop dedicated to tableware and home objects. The curator comes from an architectural and interior design background, approaching every piece through spatial harmony, thoughtful proportion and the way objects truly live in everyday routines.

We look for items that feel both calm and playful, where clean silhouettes meet tactile warmth. Beauty matters, but so does usefulness. Every object we carry is meant to be handled often, lived with and appreciated slowly.

Our selection reflects a belief in thoughtful creation and in supporting makers whose voices deserve more space. We gravitate toward independent studios and designers who care deeply about originality, craft integrity and responsible production. Many of the brands we work with bring fresh perspectives shaped by their own lived experiences, and we hope Fondware can be a quiet place where those perspectives can be seen and valued.

We believe good design should last and should be treated with care, from the object itself to the packaging that carries it. Fondware is, in many ways, a calm editorial project about the things that stay with us.

How We Curate

Choosing with intention.

Design First

We look for makers with a clear design language, thoughtful details and respect for originality. Inspiration is welcomed. Imitation is not.

Made to Be Used

Objects are tested in real life before they are chosen. We consider balance, comfort, durability, heat tolerance and ease of care.

Sustainability Matters

We prioritize responsible materials, long lasting construction and mindful packaging. Good design should age well, not create waste.

A Place for Independent Voices

We naturally gravitate toward small studios and underrepresented creators whose perspectives enrich the design landscape. Their sensitivity, experimentation and distinct storytelling often shape the soul of our collection.

Respect for Craft and Brand Integrity

We partner with designers who honor their craft and protect their design identity. Careful execution matters, including packaging, instructions and every detail that frames the experience.

Edit with Calm

We curate slowly and intentionally, choosing fewer pieces but choosing them with care.
