Sweetfin: A Healthful, Design-Driven California Original

  • Location: Multiple Locations (Santa Monica, Silver Lake, Larchmont, DTLA, and beyond)
  • Designer: Originally designed in collaboration with SHORE Design (and various local architects per location)

The Curation

Sweetfin is a premium, chef-driven poke™ concept that has redefined healthful fast-casual dining across California. From their first location in Santa Monica to their expansive growth today, Bend Goods has been an integral part of the Sweetfin aesthetic from the very beginning.

The curation of these spaces reflects the "California spirit"—bright, clean, and effortlessly cool. Our products were selected to fit perfectly into these high-traffic restaurants, where a "light and airy" vibe is essential to the brand's identity. Whether located near the ocean in Santa Monica or in a busy urban pocket like Silver Lake, our wire furniture provides a voluminous feel that doesn't crowd the often limited space of a boutique poke shop. The custom color palettes—ranging from crisp whites to signature seafoam and blues—complement the local produce and vibrant ingredients served daily.

The Synergy

The synergy between Bend Goods and Sweetfin is rooted in a shared obsession with innovative flavors and quality of ingredients. In fact, our partnership was so deep that we designed the "Sweet Stool" specifically for them. This custom piece was engineered with the "technical rigor" required for a high-volume hospitality environment while maintaining the "fine art" status of a sculptural object.

Bend was a great use case for Sweetfin because both brands represent a 21st-century "reinvention" of a classic—Sweetfin with poke and Bend with wire furniture. Our Café Tables and Lucy Chairs utilize CNC precision to create complex geometric patterns that echo the clean, sustainable, and transparent mission of the Sweetfin kitchen. The furniture is "built like a buffalo" to withstand heavy daily use, yet it looks "ethereal and thin," much like the house-made sauces and delicate fish that define the menu.

The Legacy

Sweetfin was founded by a team of visionary entrepreneurs and chefs who wanted to create a "pole-to-plate" experience that honors the planet. Since their debut in 2015, they have become a staple of California’s culinary and design history.

Our furniture has been a part of the Sweetfin landscape for over a decade, standing as a testament to the "longevity and chromatic range" of high-quality powder coating. By integrating Bend Goods into every new location, Sweetfin discovery what the mid-century masters knew: that wire, done right, is one of the most expressive and durable materials for a forward-looking brand.
