Founded by Dutch brothers Joost and Stijn Sommerdijk, MoldBrothers turns culinary vision into form—one precision-crafted mold at a time.
Opening -----------------------------------------------------
A fishbone made of chocolate. A honeycomb tuile so delicate it shatters like glass. A tartelette shaped like a pearl ring. These aren’t just dishes—they’re design statements, made possible by the tools of MoldBrothers. Founded by Joost and Stijn Sommerdijk in the Netherlands, the studio creates high-end food shaping tools used by over 200 Michelin-starred chefs around the world.
Their molds don’t just shape food—they shape narrative. They give chefs a new language for plating, where form becomes flavor, and geometry becomes storytelling.
What you’re looking at ---------------------------------------
MoldBrothers specializes in precision tools for professional kitchens: 3D molds, tuile and tartelette forms, brass stamps, stencils, and pressing kits. Each piece is engineered to help chefs execute complex visual ideas with consistency and flair. Whether it’s a custom mold for a signature dish or a ready-to-ship design like the honeycomb or fishbone, the tools are built to perform under pressure—and to elevate the plate.
How it’s made -----------------------------------------------
The Sommerdijk brothers bring a hybrid background in hospitality, design, and culinary innovation. Their ethos—“turning vision into form”—guides every product. The process is collaborative: chefs bring the concept, MoldBrothers delivers the form. Their custom work has appeared in dishes by chefs like Andrea Selvaggini at Savage Oslo, where the mold becomes part of the storytelling.
What it’s doing ----------------------------------------------
From Dubai to the Maldives, MoldBrothers tools are in kitchens that push boundaries. Their products ship to over 40 countries and are used by pastry chefs, culinary schools, and high-end restaurants alike. The brand has become a quiet fixture in the food design world—less about hype, more about precision, beauty, and utility.
Context & stakes --------------------------------------------
On Instagram (@moldbrothers), the studio shares behind-the-scenes looks at molds in action, from concept sketches to final plated results. Their website (moldbrothers.com) offers a full webshop, custom order portal, and inspiration gallery. Through their Linktree, chefs can access recipes, tutorials, and tool breakdowns—making the brand as much about education as it is about execution.
Closing ------------------------------------------------------
In a culinary world where visuals matter as much as flavor, MoldBrothers gives chefs the tools to sculpt their ideas into edible form. Joost and Stijn Sommerdijk aren’t just designing molds—they’re designing moments. And in the hands of the world’s best chefs, those moments become unforgettable.
