The Fig Cooking School

A never-ending exploration, The Fig Cooking School boasts design as rich and vibrant as the dishes taught here. Drawing on rich navy blue and copper tones, this space merges a state-of-the-art commercial kitchen with best-in-class home kitchen design to create a space that is both accessible to students and adaptable to all potential needs. Details from Fig’s original home, including marble countertops and a hexagonal floor, pair with vintage elements like a Philadelphia schoolhouse handwashing sink, and original shelving, a nod to the space’s past as one of the region’s most iconic shoestores. Every inch of space is maximized, with cooking tools, ingredients, cookbooks, and even dishes used as design elements. Detailed, striking, yet approachable, this space boasts a creative palate unlike any other.
