What Our Place does

Our Place is a direct-to-consumer kitchenware company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California, that designs, markets, and sells non-toxic cookware, countertop appliances, bakeware, tableware, and kitchen tools primarily through its own e-commerce storefront (fromourplace.com), the Amazon marketplace, and a flagship retail store and cafe in Venice, LA. Its commercial identity is built around the Always Pan — a patented multifunctional 10-in-1 ceramic nonstick pan that the company positions as a replacement for multiple traditional pieces — and a broader portfolio that includes the Perfect Pot, the Titanium Pro no-coating line, and an expanding appliance category (Wonder Oven, Wonder Oven Pro, Dream Cooker, Rice Cooker co-developed with J. Kenji López-Alt, Splendor Blender, Cold Press Batch Juicer). The underlying technology platform centers on Thermakind, a proprietary PFAS-free ceramic nonstick coating, complemented by a titanium no-coating nonstick technology in the premium tier; these are materials-science and design innovations rather than AI/ML-driven.

Core offering

Our Place designs, manufactures, and sells non-toxic, PFAS-free kitchenware directly to consumers through its own e-commerce platform, Amazon, and a flagship retail store in Venice, Los Angeles. Its flagship offering is the multifunctional Always Pan (a 10-in-1 ceramic nonstick pan) and Perfect Pot, with expansion into premium titanium cookware (Titanium Pro line), countertop appliances (Wonder Oven, Wonder Oven Pro, Dream Cooker, Rice Cooker, Splendor Blender, Cold Press Juicer), bakeware, tableware, and kitchen tools. The portfolio is built on two proprietary technologies: Thermakind® ceramic nonstick coating and titanium no-coating nonstick technology.

Product overview

Our Place is a direct-to-consumer kitchenware brand offering a comprehensive ecosystem of non-toxic cookware, appliances, bakeware, tableware, and kitchen tools. The product portfolio centers on two core technology platforms: Thermakind ceramic nonstick coating (PFAS-free) used in the Always Pan 2.0, Perfect Pot, and related cookware sets; and titanium no-coating nonstick technology in the Titanium Pro line. The company has expanded from its flagship Always Pan into a full kitchen ecosystem including Wonder Oven and Wonder Oven Pro countertop appliances with steam-infused convection technology, Dream Cooker multicooker, Rice Cooker with fuzzy logic (developed with chef J. Kenji Lopez-Alt), and Splendor Blender. The product architecture follows a tiered approach: entry-level Essentials line, core Ceramic Nonstick collection (Always Pan 2.0, Perfect Pot, Cookware Sets), premium Titanium Pro line, and specialty Traditionware collection. Complementary categories include bakeware (Bakeware Set, Ultimate Bakeware Set, Griddle Pans), tableware (Dinner Plates, Soup Bowls, Glasses, Carafes), and kitchen tools (Utensil Essentials, Knife Trio). The company also operates a physical retail presence in Venice, Los Angeles with an attached cafe, maintains a loyalty program (Dirty Dishes Club), and collaborates with notable chefs on curated collections.
