Ember Cookware today announced the launch of its first limited-edition collection, Benares Gold, in collaboration with celebrated founder, designer and actor, Masaba Gupta. For this collection, Masaba has chosen the vibrant tone, bringing her signature love for expressive shades into the heart of the kitchen.
Benares Gold takes its name from the city’s rich heritage of craft, artistry, and colour. Warm, vibrant, and full of energy, the shade reflects Masaba’s philosophy of living joyfully and unapologetically. Designed to shine both in the kitchen and on the table, the collection combines Ember’s world-class performance, non-toxic Arcilla™ ceramic coating, and design-forward aesthetics, making everyday cooking feel special
Masaba Gupta, the inspiration behind Benares Gold, says,“Benares Gold is one of my favourite colours in the world. I keep revisiting its haldi-yellow tone in my collections, it reminds me of light, joy, and positivity. To see it come alive in cookware feels so right, especially for the festive season. It’s vibrant, celebratory, and lends itself beautifully to the kitchen. As a new mother, I’ve become very conscious about what we use to cook. Ember feels like a natural part of my home, safe, beautiful, and a true extension of my personality. Our homes are more open now, and cookware deserves to shine. In my all-white space, with a genda phool always on the table, Ember Benares Gold is that perfect accent — functional and stunning.”
The Benares Gold collection is a limited-edition release, created to celebrate the festive and wedding season. With Diwali, gifting, and bridal trousseau season around the corner, Ember wanted to offer more than functional cookware, pieces that elevate the kitchen, inspire hosting, and serve as thoughtful, stylish gifts for new homes and celebrations. Partnering with Masaba allows Ember to merge expressive style with clean living, bringing colour, craft, and contemporary design to every kitchen.
The special edition will cover a range of key cookware essentials, including the signature Kadai, an all-new Saucepan, Mini Dutch Oven and a Frypan, and will be available as individual pieces or in curated gift sets.
Himanshi Tandon, Co-Founder & CMO, Ember, says, “Benares Gold embodies everything a modern kitchen should be: warm, expressive, and alive. This haldi-yellow tone is trending, yet deeply rooted in heritage, bringing joy, positivity, and vibrancy into every home. It’s the colour that will define festive tables this season and also be the perfect wedding gift and addition to a bridal trousseau. Masaba’s inspiration aligns perfectly with Ember’s mission, creating cookware that is design-forward, functional, and part of every celebration.”
Siddharth Gadodia, Co-founder & CEO of Ember, says:“We’re really excited to team up with Masaba for this limited-edition Benares Gold collection. Her love for colour and her joyful, expressive style inspired us to bring something special into the kitchen. This is the colour of the season, and with the festive season ahead of us, it feels especially right. These pieces are designed to work beautifully, look great and be part of hosting , gifting and making everyday cooking feel a little more celebratory.”
As part of the launch, Masaba shares a personal favourite: “One recipe I am excited to try on Ember Benares Gold is warm dates drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with flaky sea salt. Simple, indulgent, and perfect to share with friends or sneak a little for yourself!” The Benares Gold collection is available now in limited quantities, making it the perfect festive gift and kitchen upgrade. It can be purchased on the Ember website, Amazon and Food Square (Mumbai).
