East Fork is a brand based in North Carolina known for artful homeware and pottery and now it joins Brooklyn-based design brand Craighill on the Mescola Cocktail set. The set is comprised of three bar tools that are meant to bring the home bar to the next level. It features a shaker, a cocktail spoon, and a jigger that is thoughtfully crafted to mix up libations this holiday season.
This collaboration has been in the works since 2018 when the two first joined at a Field & Supply fair in upstate New York. The founder and CEO of East Fork, Alex Matisse shares, “Over the years, we explored the idea of creating something together that customers can’t stop reaching for – a true mark of success for any designer or maker." The products are a perfect blend of East Fork's organic and ceramics-inspired design aesthetics and the precise engineering of metalwork by Craighill.
