Five decades of hand-modeling for top chefs
Artisanal innovation from Empordà to the world
PORDAMSA has transformed traditional porcelain into a narrative element of haute cuisine. From its workshop in La Bisbal d’Empordà, the family firm creates pieces that balance technical complexity with visual emotion, becoming the preferred canvas for international chefs seeking a complete sensory experience.
Mastery of noble materials
Barcelona, 16 /11/ 2025
Founded in 1975, the company has evolved to master highly demanding manufacturing processes.
Its high-density porcelain is fired at 1,400 °C, guaranteeing total purity and impermeability, essential for professional use. This technical rigor has also extended to glass and solid oak wood, materials integrated into the catalog to provide contrasts in texture and temperature. Each piece is the result of seventeen manual operations performed over a seven-day cycle, a method ensuring a flawless finish where matte and glossy surfaces coexist in harmony. Production maintains a strict commitment to naturalness: all raw materials are 100% of natural origin.
A dialogue between design and cuisine
The essence of PORDAMSA is the ability to translate a chef’s aesthetic needs into functional objects. Collaborations with figures such as the Roca brothers, Martín Berasategui, or Alex Atala have resulted in iconic collections. Highlights include pieces like “Cacao,” which mimics a natural pod, or the series inspired by the plane tree leaf of Girona’s Devesa. These designs are not mere supports but tools that foster dialogue between the kitchen and the diner, elevating the act of eating to an artistic experience. Awarded the 2024 T de Turismo Prize, the brand has established itself as a cultural benchmark uniting Empordà’s craft tradition with culinary avant-garde.
Craftsmanship with a vision for the future
The firm’s own design studio allows for constant adaptation to a transforming global market. Despite international expansion, the human factor remains the core of production in Forallac. PORDAMSA’s value lies in its ability to maintain an artisanal soul in high-precision pieces, avoiding the uniformity of industrial manufacturing. This approach ensures that every object is unique and durable, reflecting a philosophy where luxury is defined by the time and care dedicated to each form. It is a proposal that celebrates local craft while shaping the ideas that define 21st-century gastronomy.
