The sleek, ergonomic tongs make serving ice effortless, completing this timeless duo designed for both function and flair.

Created in collaboration with designer Giulio Iacchetti and mixologist Oscar Quagliarini, The Tending Box bar accessories are designed for both home and professional bartenders. The plain yet characterful design language of the mixing kit exudes quality and professionalism. The Tending Box makes a great gift for anyone who enjoys well-made drinks and well-made design.
