"After seven years crammed into a rabbit warren of offices in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, we moved our headquarters to the Brooklyn Navy Yard this spring. Working with our good friends Brad Sherman and Nina Etnier at Float Studio, who have designed all of our previous offices, we set out to create a space that focused on our core team and community needs: gathering, creating, and entertaining. It took us three years (and heroic project management by our office operations director Karen Levi!) to build out a slew of test kitchens, studios, and work and huddle spaces that are both deeply functional and welcominga place that feels like home.
Now that weve settled in, Im excited to show it to you! In our newest episode of Founder Files, I take you on a tour through our light-filled floor at Dock72, which is well-stocked with everything from vintage Dansk tableware to whisks and saut pans to cozy sofas. Weve created a cheat sheet to the appliances, furniture, and fixtures that I selected to outfit our new space. Read on to learn more about each one." Amanda Hesser, Food52 Founder

The family-run Italian brand Bertazonni is the test kitchens oven, cooktop and dishwasher maker of choice. Their Double Electric Convection Wall Ovens, Microwave Speed Ovens, and Gas Burner Cooktops power all of our recipe development and testing. Youll also find their refrigerator in our team kitchen alongside the same appliances.

The Trinsic Single-Handle Pull-Down Faucet, Broderick True Bar Kitchen Faucet, and Broderick Two Handle Pull-Down Bridge Kitchen Faucet from Delta are installed throughout the test kitchen, our video studio sinks, and our Town Hall area, where we gather for lunch and host gatherings.The backsplash brings a pop of color and texture to our office kitchen by way of luxury tile maker Walker Zanger. The collections we used throughout the office include City Bricks tile, Velluto porcelain tile, and the Robert A.M. Stern tile.

Youll find heat-, scratch-, and stain-resistant Sirius Dekton Solid Collection countertops in our test kitchen and Cincel Grey silestone countertops in our social kitchen and Town Hall kitchens, both made by Cosentino.

Katy Skeltons Perry Double Sconce, made in Savannah, GA, casts a warm glow in the entrance area of Food52. Throughout the office youll find nooks perfect for our photo shoots, hosting guests, and impromptu meetings. Among the seating options are the T-Chairs, Signature Chair and Sideways Sofa by Carl Hansen & Sn.

In our first meeting space as you enter the office (which is filled with a rainbow of new and vintage Dansk pieces), youll find more striking chairs and lighting from Audo Copenhagen like their cozy Knitting Chair, pictured, the JWDA Floor Lamp, and Eave Sofa.

In our parent/meditation room, Hems Zig Zag shelf is a stylish showcase for our vases and books. We also have their Bookmatch Bench and Koti Sofa. To define and add warmth to our seating areas, we added these Armadillo rugs throughout: the Atlas Classic Collection area rug, the Drift Classic Collection area rug, and the Agra Heirloom Collection area rug. Our Normann Copenhagen tables, including the Turn Table and Grow Table, are the perfect pedestals for accent pieces

Just off our library area, filled with hundreds of cookbooks, is this mod, chocolate velvet Maura Modular sofa from TRNK, along with their Arc sofa. To pull up a seat to the island in our social kitchen, we use the industrial chic Blackhouse Factory Twist stool. Youll find their Evans Iron Pedestal side table nearby.

Uhurus sleek Workstations are where much of the team works. The electric panel in the middle console can be cleverly covered when the laptops are gone. We also have their Sit Stand Team Table for standing meetings. In the Town Hall gathering area, we sit at Vermont Tables Trestle table for lunch, and mingle around during evening parties. We use their A-Frame table and Dovetail table, too.

Inside Amandas office, the Moors wallpaper by Calico acts as a gorgeous, painterly backdrop.
For the perfect addition to our cabinetry, we used the Marcelle and Otto collections of knobs, hooks, pulls, label holders and brackets from Modern Matter and Float Studio.
