These handmade bowls are the perfect way to elevate your take-out salad
The Salad Project may be best-known for its take-out containers of greeny goodness but now it’s swapping out disposable bowls for handmade ceramics in its latest homeware collaboration with Henry Holland Studio.
Inside The Salad Project x Henry Holland Studio Collab
The Salad Project x Henry Holland Studio: At The Table will reimagine the celebrated designer’s bold ceramic forms with custom Salad Project inspired colours. Bringing its signature style to the table, this limited-edition collection will launch on Monday 4 August.
From hearty salads to nutrient-packed protein bowls, The Salad Project has made a name for itself as the go-to London lunch location. Founded in 2021, the company now have seven stores across the capital, seeking to bring a curated and creative experience to eating well. While its mint green stores that seek to minimise human interaction may feel too futuristic for some, The Salad Project’s latest endeavour is all about celebrating the human and the handmade.

Alongside the obvious salad bowls, the new Henry Holland range will also include pasta bowls, high sided bowls and medium shorty chalices. The handcrafted pieces will be available to order exclusively through The Salad Project website.
For those of you unfamiliar with Henry Holland Studio, it is renowned for its handcrafted ceramics – particularly the distinctive adaptation of the traditional Japanese nerikomi technique.
The studio’s founder — Henry Holland himself — was originally the creative director of fashion label House of Holland. It was only while he was trapped indoors during the pandemic that he first discovered his love of ceramics. Taking a break from fashion, he threw himself into this new creative outlet. Unable to access his local Hackney pottery studio, he stumbled across his interpretation of the nerikomi technique while sat at his kitchen table and has been obsessed with it ever since.
The meditative process involves meticulously stacking, folding, and rolling coloured clays into layered slabs. These slabs are then carefully hand-moulded into functional forms, the organic process meaning that no two pieces ever looks the same. Each object is entirely unique with the combined colour combinations of the different earthenware clays creating the signature colour combinations and patterns.
Every bowl in the collection will be hand-built and finished in the Henry Holland Studio workshop in Hackney, London to celebrate the intersection of form, function, and food. These bowls are designed to bring a sense of occasion to everyday eating – even if you’re simply tipping your Salad Project delivery into a slightly more sophisticated vessel. Or you can bring the magic of The Salad Project into your own home by preparing a salad from its recipe book in your very own Henry Holland designed bowl.
The Salad Project and Henry Holland Studio jointly announced the collaboration in an Instagram post on the 24 July, telling fans to ‘stay tuned’ for the upcoming project.
‘We’re excited to collaborate with Henry Holland Studio, a designer celebrated for his bold, playful style, as The Salad Project’s first step into homeware,’ says The Salad Project co-founder Florian de Chezelles. ‘This partnership captures the fresh, vibrant, and design-led ethos at the heart of The Salad Project, bringing our love for colour, craft, and creativity into everyday spaces.’
‘For me, the best pieces of design sit at the intersection of form and function,’ adds Henry Holland. ‘These bowls are bold, joyful, and a celebration of colour, craft and food – everything I love. Plus, there’s a size for all appetites!’
