Luxury home brand Frontgate has officially debuted its first-ever design collaboration with Chef Michael Symon, the James Beard Award-winning culinary icon, and his wife, restaurateur Liz Symon. Announced on July 29, 2025, the Frontgate x Chef Symon Collection introduces a Mediterranean-inspired suite of entertaining essentials designed to turn everyday dining into a relaxed yet refined experience.

Drawing directly from the couple’s Greek-Sicilian heritage, European travels, and their signature grill-to-table philosophy, the collection reflects the balance of beauty, function, and joy that defines the Symons’ approach to entertaining.

This is not just another celebrity-designed line—it’s a reflection of how the Symons live and host in their own Venice Beach bungalow. Built around conviviality, slow meals, and generous spreads, the pieces feel personal yet polished, created for a host who values design as much as durability.

Each item is made to function seamlessly from prep to presentation. The materials—burnished brass, walnut-finished mango wood, vibrant enamel, and sponge-stamped Italian ceramic—add depth and artisanal richness to the table while keeping things approachable.

The Frontgate x Chef Symon Collection features a thoughtfully curated lineup of home entertaining essentials, including:

Serveware That Moves with the Meal

Modular lazy Susans, insulated bowls, and charcuterie boards bring a professional edge to presentation without sacrificing ease. Each piece is crafted to transition smoothly from kitchen counter to outdoor dining table.

Artisanal Italian Dinnerware

Handmade using a traditional sponge-stamping technique, the dinnerware is produced in Italy and features classic Mediterranean motifs that nod to the Symons’ family roots. No two pieces are exactly alike, adding a personal, heirloom-like touch to each table setting.

Sophisticated Barware for the Design-Conscious Host

With its burnished brass finishes and updated forms, the cocktail station includes a luxe bar tool set, a signature ice bucket, and a double-walled beverage tub engineered for maximum chill. It’s built for performance, but with visual impact in mind.

Functional Kitchen & Dining Staples

From leather-trimmed chef’s aprons to canvas bread cloths and ribbed-glass cruets, the Symons’ touch extends into the details. Even the salt and pepper shakers have been reimagined with an eye for both design and everyday use.

What elevates this collection beyond surface-level aesthetic is its deep understanding of how people actually use their kitchens and dining spaces. Chef Symon’s culinary precision meets Frontgate’s long-standing expertise in upscale home design, creating a line that’s as functional as it is visually compelling.

Available exclusively through Frontgate stores and Frontgate.com, the Frontgate x Chef Michael Symon Collection includes pricing that ranges from $49 to $399, making high-design entertaining accessible without compromising on craftsmanship.

For those who find meaning in the details—the curve of a cocktail spoon, the texture of a ceramic glaze, the quiet weight of a good carving board—this new collaboration offers a tactile, inspired way to entertain. It’s more than a collection; it’s an invitation to gather.
