I've had the good fortune to be able to develop a number of custom pieces alongside chefs, stylists, and stores, and am always on the lookout for new collaborations with people who share my values of design and function.
For chefs interested in collaborating on tableware, I'd be happy to have a conversation about what you'd like to develop. Design services are included in your order of tableware, but I do charge for individual prototypes ahead of full production (between $20 and $45 per piece). I'll work with you to make sure the final pieces are durable, stackable, and will hold up to the rigors of the heat lamp and commercial dishwasher. I'm available for in-person consultation in the New York metro area, and by phone or skype if you are based elsewhere.
Each piece is thrown by hand, but using a combination of dimensional drawing and custom jigwork to assure that future replacement pieces will match your original order.
Please reach out with inquiries by email at LouisGruberCeramics@gmail.com, and I look forward to starting a conversation.
