    The collaboration between designers and chefs presents a new way of working that in recent years is opening up to sectors such as ceramics, which is currently enjoying a moment in the spotlight because of the creativity of professional ceramicists who have had to reinvent themselves in order to adapt to the requirements of a very demanding sector that involves innovation, dedication and versatility. A challenge for the changing tastes of the 21st century. Including, Eulalia Oliver y Glòria Ferrer, Olivier Grau, Rosa Cortiella, 40plumas, David Rosell y Anna Ballesté, Paula Ojea, Yukiko Murata, Ivet Bazaco, Penélope Vallejo, Juan Carlos Iñesta, Cerámica SUVE, Frosum, Carme Balada, Katsue Kusumi, Eulàlia Naveira y Pepa Reverter. Chefs like Albert Adrià, Jordi Vilà, Jordi Cruz, Nandu Jubany and Quique Dacosta have adopted some of these creations in order to personalise their serving dishes and make their tables unique, reflecting the food served on them.
