1515 Design

Established in 2010, 1515 Design & Manufacturing serves as a specialized gateway for European culinary innovation within the North American market. Based in Los Angeles, the company was founded by industry veterans Francis Delpech and Eric Maurice, who brought over two decades of experience in importing sophisticated kitchen technology. The organization has built its reputation on a curated approach to equipment sourcing, focusing on the intersection of high-end aesthetics and operational efficiency for grocery stores, high-volume delis, and premium hospitality venues.

A primary pillar of the company’s portfolio is its exclusive partnership with Doregrill, the European leader in rotisserie manufacturing since 1963. As the sole importer and distributor for North America, 1515 Design provides access to advanced gas and electric rotisseries that are engineered for precision and durability. These units are characterized by their independent motor systems, energy-efficient infrared burners, and enameled finishes that facilitate rapid cleaning. This specialized focus allows operators to achieve consistent, high-quality roasting results while maintaining a theater-style presentation that is essential for modern retail environments.

Beyond its focus on rotisserie technology, the company integrates high-end European display solutions to enhance food merchandising and preservation. This includes a strategic emphasis on Italian-designed refrigeration and heated merchandisers, such as the Criocabin line, which prioritize sleek profiles and thermal stability. By providing equipment that emphasizes visual appeal alongside technical performance, 1515 Design enables businesses to create modern, inviting environments that elevate the customer experience. This holistic view of the "front-of-house" ensures that every piece of equipment serves both a functional and a promotional purpose.

The organization further distinguishes itself through a comprehensive commitment to equipment longevity and after-sales support. 1515 Design maintains a specialized preventative maintenance program, employing technicians who provide national service coverage to ensure that critical machinery remains in optimal condition. This infrastructure is designed to minimize mechanical failures and extend the lifespan of high-investment equipment through scheduled inspections and specialized cleaning protocols. By combining exclusive international sourcing with a dedicated domestic service framework, the company provides a reliable foundation for operators seeking to implement world-class culinary solutions.
