Collaborations with Acclaimed Chefs and Culinary Innovators
Special Projects
At Oui Chef, we partner with some of the most inspiring chefs, acclaimed restaurants, and innovative brands - like Bragard, Gronda, and La Colombe - to bring special projects to life. These collaborations highlight our shared passion and dedication. Discover some of them below.
Cape Town, South africa
La Colombe
The Oui Chef × La Colombe partnership is a celebration of creativity, precision, and a little bit of magic - where every detail, no matter how small, is part of the story. From a build-your-own bread and butter ritual to charcuterie trolleys gliding through the room, each moment is carefully crafted to surprise and delight. Dishes like the iconic Tinned Tuna are revealed with quiet drama, while others, like the Namibian Crab are strictly a no cutlery affair. Even the palate cleanser arrives with flair, swirling in cold vapour. It’s a partnership rooted in craftsmanship and play, where every bite feels like a performance.
The 40th anniversary of the Roux Scholarship
Bragard
We were delighted to collaborate with Bragard to mark a truly special occasion - the 40th anniversary of the Roux Scholarship, celebrated with a prestigious dinner. A name synonymous with excellence in professional culinary wear, Bragard has long been the outfitter of choice for top chefs around the world. With a heritage rooted in craftsmanship, precision, and timeless design, their garments are worn in the kitchens of Michelin-starred restaurants and on the stages of global culinary competitions.
To honour the legacy of this iconic culinary institution, all former Roux Scholars in attendance were presented with a beautifully crafted Bragard apron and a customised, limited-edition red Oui Chef tweezers kit.
Wrap Gift
The Bear - Season 3
In early 2024 we were approached by the production company behind global TV phenomenon The Bear to provide a selection of Oui Chef tools for the filming of Season 3. We provided a full selection of tweezers as well as our SignatureSpoons and SuperSharp Scissors.
As filming drew to a close the production company asked us if we would provide a wrap gift for the entire cast and crew. The SuperSharp scissors had proven extremely popular on set - they had ordered more mid-way through filming - so that was the obvious gift of choice.
We duly obliged and got 300 of our Chrome Top SuperSharp scissors engraved - that was a long day! - and shipped to Chicago for the wrap party.
Curious how our tools went from your kitchen to on-set stardom?
App & Gronda content creator awards 2024
Gronda
We’re proud to be in an ongoing collaboration with Gronda - the world’s largest professional chef community and a platform redefining culinary education through its acclaimed Masterclass series.
As part of this partnership, select creators are handpicked by Gronda to receive a custom set of Oui Chef tools, tailored to each chef’s unique style and dishes. These thoughtfully curated kits - from precision tweezers to versatile palette knives - are more than tools; they’re a reflection of creativity, and respect for the chefs shaping the future of food.
Our work together has extended to special projects like the Gronda Content Creator Awards in Austria, where we designed bespoke packaging to honour the extraordinary talent being celebrated. Gronda champions professional growth, creativity, and excellence - values that align perfectly with our own.
Online store
Simon Rogan
As well as being the tools of choice for many chefs in all of Simon Rogan’s restaurants - L’Enclume, Roganic and Ion Harbour, Simon has chosen to sell Oui Chef products as part of his Home by Simon Rogan range.
The Oui Chef 20cm offset tweezers also featured as a gift in the coveted Simon Rogan Advent Calendar.
Restaurant
Helène Darroze at The Connaught
Head Chef Marco Zampese has been a long time Oui Chef customer. As a Christmas gift for the kitchen team every chef was presented with a personalised LiftOff Palette knife with their initials, the restaurant logo and of course their coveted 3 stars.
Front of house, the dining room has a suite of SuperSharp scissors for a course that is finished by none other than the guests themselves - a theatrical finishing flourish.
kitchen fitout
Projects by Advance
Projects By Advance is one of the leading commercial kitchen design and fitout companies in the UK with such high profile clients as ikoyi (also a Oui Chef customer), Brat and Kricket.
Upon completion of a project, Projects By Advance have chosen Oui Chef as their gift of choice for the kitchen team. They present a suite of Oui Chef kits to the opening team as a token of their gratitude to ensure the chefs get off to a flying start.
Restaurant
Le Gavroche 1967 - 2024
When legendary restaurant Le Gavroche announced they would be closing in early 2024 emotion rippled through the industry. Head Chef Rachel Humphrey wanted to gift every member of the kitchen team a farewell souvenir as they continued on their cooking journey - a reminder they were part of something incredibly special. She chose a pair of Oui Chef tweezers engraved with Le Gavroche 1967 - 2024. It’s fair to say we felt truly humbled to be engraving those tools with such an iconic logo.
