NAMBÉ Flatware
Client: Nambé
Product: Flatware
Over the years A2 has become the go-to guy for flatware. Though flatware patterns go in and out of retailers faster than back-to-school clothes, the very good ones stick around for a long time. Since A2 lays claim to over 20% of the best selling patterns in Crate & Barrel and countless patterns in all the best flatware retailers in the country, it is safe to say that we design good flatware. It makes sense that Nambe turned to A2 to expand its long-standing but tiny offering. A2 principal, Lou Henry, has designed over half of Nambe’s 20 patterns.

PERFECT BROWNIE Pre-slicing Bakeware
Client: Perfect Brownie
Product: Pre-slicing Bakeware
Originally called Perfect Slice, we had developed this bakeware line as a proprietary item about 8 years ago. We bought a couple thousand dollars worth of cake and brownie mixes and locked ourselves in the test kitchen for 2 months. This odd experiment resulted in a stack of new inventions, one of which was Perfect Slice. We developed it to a fully functioning prototype. We pitched it. Focus Products, astonished that it worked, jumped on it, renamed it, and produced it. Slice Solutions brownie pan is one of the fastest selling bakeware items QVC has ever seen. Now everyone wants a piece!
