Our Place Launches a Restricted-Version Tangine — Simply in Time for Eid

When Our Place debuted the All the time Pan in 2019, it not solely sparked a wave of curiosity in Instagrammable- cookware manufacturers, however kicked off the growing velocity at which its contemporaries — suppose Nice Jones and Caraway — started whipping up product launches. However now that the aesthetic house items area is extra crowded, to face out in 2025, manufacturers must suppose past simply cool shade selections, and have one thing to say that feels private, or purpose-driven — which is strictly why Our Place’s newest cookware launch piqued my curiosity.

Our Place’s olive-leaf-embellished tagine packs all of the aesthetic attract of artisanal Moroccan-made cookware, but additionally capabilities as a stable introduction to cooking tagines (because it requires no pre-seasoning to be used). 

Meet Our Place’s latest tagine, which was made in collaboration with Tangier-based Palestinian artist Nina Mohammad:

Tagines are conventional Moroccan cookware (named after the hearty dish — a flavorful stew — created inside them), and have been launched to Our Place’s product lineup in 2022 beneath its banner of “Traditionware.” The newest Olive & Clay version, nonetheless, is a part of a limited-edition drop that was additionally designed to supply emergency help to Palestinians in Gaza. Explaining the late-February launch, the model says that the “piece pays tribute to centuries-old Moroccan cooking traditions whereas celebrating Palestinian heritage — simply in time for Eid,” and one hundred pc of the earnings will go to the Center East Youngsters’s Alliance to ship support in Gaza.

Designer Nina Mohammed is the inventive director of the Moroccan-based textile sourcing studio Artisan Challenge, and he or she selected the olive leaf motif to pay homage to her grandmother, Fatima, “who planted hundreds of olive bushes in Palestine as a logo of resilience and peace,” whereas the clay composition is a nod to the gradual cooker’s conventional materials development. The tagine is designed to work particularly with the model’s in style All the time Pan (good), though you would pair it with any comparable oven-proof cookware that accommodates its 10.9-inch diameter. Our Place’s tagine additionally requires no pre-seasoning, making it a stable piece for tagine learners. (Take a look at Eater’s information to purchasing a tagine right here.)

This isn’t the primary time Our Place has created culturally particular cookware (see: this Persian-inspired flipping platter), nor the primary time that it has offered support to the Center East Youngsters’s Alliance, which obtained 20 p.c of the earnings from its 2024 crescent-embellished All the time Pan.

Whereas the All the time Pan stays the model’s marquee product, the model has additionally come out with a formidable parade of aesthetic cookware and home equipment, together with a horny new All the time Pan (it’s titanium), and a gradual cooker and toaster oven that need to be anthropomorphized in a Pixar film.

I might like to see much more of the model’s heritage-driven items sooner or later, and it’s refreshing to see the corporate amp up its dedication to constructing a product vary that immediately speaks to, and advantages, the communities from whence they got here. Our Place’s co-founder Shiza Shahid spoke to Eater about that call final spring, telling Bettina Makalintal, “You must be particular, as a result of in the event you’re attempting to talk to everybody, then nobody will really feel prefer it’s for them. However if you’re particular, then different folks will see their very own cultures in it.” That’s an ethos that stands out an entire lot greater than something on my Discover web page.
