At this San Francisco kitchen boutique, cookware typically used to stir a pot or serve a meal is beautiful enough to display on a wall. Owner and design junkie Sam Hamilton created the art gallery-meets-kitchen space after working her way through cooking school. Her idea: Celebrate the character and timelessness of everyday cooking and serving objects. Most of the store's cookware and tableware is forged by specialty artisans across the world, and nearly a third of these designs are exclusive to the shop.
