DIEGO & NACHO SAMPEREfor hospitality
Handmade ceramics from La Bisbal d'Empordà
Diego and Nacho Sampere are brothers, craftsmen and designers. Since 2017 they have made stoneware tableware for gastronomy in their workshop in La Bisbal d'Empordà, in the Catalan province of Girona. They work in the classic ceramic tradition and also use digital techniques such as 3D printing for new shapes.
Sampere is not in our webshop. Debecker supplies it on request.
Everything in their own workshop
At Sampere the whole process happens in-house: design, modelling, making moulds and mixing colours, followed by shaping and finishing by hand. A piece can therefore be made to measure for a restaurant, and every piece is slightly different.
Colours of the Mediterranean
The main collections follow the colours of the Catalan landscape: stone grey, earthy ochre and aqua green. Homo Faber, the European platform for craftsmanship, names more than fifty Michelin-starred restaurants that work with the brothers' tableware.
When Sampere fits
Sampere suits a kitchen where the plate is part of the dish: a fine dining restaurant, a chef's table or a venue that wants its own tableware made.
Made for chefs
One of the defining moments for the brothers was a commission from a Michelin-starred chef who had them make all the tableware for his restaurant. Since then they have worked mainly for gastronomy, but also for people who want a handmade plate at home. La Bisbal d'Empordà, where their workshop is, is an old pottery town.
Preparing your request
Start from the menu: which dishes go on which plate, and how many covers you lay at once. Plan a reserve per piece for washing during service and for breakage. Also measure your dishwasher racks and your plate and warming cabinets: a plate that just does not fit costs time every day.
Ordering from Debecker
Sampere is not in our webshop. You order on request: get in touch or book an appointment in the showroom in Marke (Kortrijk). Tell us which pieces, colours and quantities you are looking for; custom work takes longer. It works the same way for venues in West Flanders. Other items are under hospitality tableware.
