There’s nothing so common as a bowl of nuts, and nothing so uncommon as the bowl that holds them.

Meet Alaya. Mirror polished and dressed in lattice work that took longer than most love affairs. Alaya doesn’t serve almonds. She introduces them to society.

We’ve always believed that the smallest objects deserve the largest ideas. A nut bowl, after all, is a simple sort of confession; it tells your guests precisely what you think of them. Alaya, with her jharokha cutwork and her flared, flirtatious silhouette, whispers that you think of them very highly, indeed.

The Alaya Nut Bowl. Newly arrived at Arjuna, where ordinary things are politely refused entry.

Some kitchens are built for cooking. Others are built for commentary.

These containers happen to do both.

Finished in warm brass tones with a quiet sense of ceremony, they were designed for the ingredients touched daily and judged constantly.

Coffee. Sugar. Chai.

There’s something deeply satisfying about giving ordinary things a more dignified existence.

Practicality keeps the household functioning. Beauty keeps resentment at bay. And this explains why our container collection has quietly become one of our bestsellers.

If your pantry has standards, you know where we are.
