THE 2026 LA POP-UP
We’re returning to Los Angeles—and back to Platform in Culver City—for a limited-time pop-up. If you’ve stopped by one of our sales before, you know the drill. If you haven’t: come ready to sift through heaps of pro chef-loved dinnerware at up to 50% off the typical retail price.
(FYI: this year, pop-up pricing will be better than ever.)
Where:
Platform, 8830 Washington Blvd. Space #101, Culver City, CA 90232
When:
April 3rd – April 27th from 11am – 6pm daily
FAQ:
What’s Jono Pandolfi Designs?
Jono Pandolfi is a ceramist who has been making dinnerware for the best chefs (and their restaurants) for nearly 20 years. Everything in our collection stands up to the demands of industrial kitchens — it’s dishwasher- and microwave-safe, super-durable, and the designs always frame food beautifully.
Who are your clients in California?
To name a few: Bar Le Côte, Bell’s, Baar Baar, Charcoal Venice, Felix Trattoria, Fia Steak, Funke, Girl & The Goat, Heritage, Leña at Sendero at The Ritz-Carlton, Marlena, Olivella at the Ojai Valley Inn, Palma at The Santa Monica Proper, Per L’Ora at the Hotel Per La, Puesto, Redbird, Rustic Canyon, and The Inn at Mattei’s Tavern.
What will be at the sale?
We’ll be bringing a wide variety of dinnerware, from classic place settings in Dark Brown and Toasted clay to unique custom jobs we originally made for hospitality clients. There will be a mix of seconds and overstock pieces that have zero flaws. We’ll also be releasing some exclusive collaborations with California-based chefs that will only be available at the pop-up. (More on that soon!)
What’s a second?
A second is a ceramic piece with a small irregularity that causes it to just barely miss the quality standard for our full-price retail and restaurant orders. In other words: It’s still totally functional and in a lot of cases most people wouldn’t notice what’s off about it.
What are the prices?
Seconds pricing is now a better deal than ever (including lower prices on each of the shapes that comprise our #1 selling Coupe 4-Piece Place Setting). Throughout the shop, we’ll post prices on the walls and on tabletops. You can expect to pay anywhere from $5 for smalls like Condiment Bowls and Butter Plates to $25 for our bestselling Mugs, but it varies with each sale.

What’s the parking situation?
We can validate non-valet garage parking for our customers for one hour. Just ask us for a sticker when you're checking out.
What are your accepted payment methods?
We take cards. No cash, please.
Can my dog come?
That’s a yes.
