Inga Sempé is one of those rare designers capable of blending lightness, intelligence, and subtlety into every creation. As the daughter of the famous illustrator Jean-Jacques Sempé, she has inherited a keen and poetic perspective on the world, which she translates with finesse into everyday objects. A graduate of ENSCI, Les Ateliers (École nationale supérieure de création industrielle) in Paris, she is now a leading figure in “Made in France” design, equally at home designing lighting fixtures, furniture, accessories, and door handles.
Her work is characterized by an eye for detail, a love of simple yet bold forms, and a constant focus on the quality of materials. Every object designed by Inga Sempé seems intended to enhance our daily lives without ever being over the top. That is what makes her designs so recognizable: modern, understated, yet always clever.
The Sempé handle: a testament to elegant simplicity.
Among his creations, the Sempé door handle stands out for its character, which is both understated and assertive. Inspired by the shape of a madeleine and the curves of a seashell, it evokes the tenderness of memory and the delicacy of detail, while embodying, all on its own, the spirit of French design: refined without pretension and functional without compromising on aesthetics.
Made in France, the Sempé doorknob is available in several finishes (matte black, matte copper, matte gold, polished gold, polished nickel, anthracite), which delicately highlight its organic curves and can blend seamlessly into a Haussmann-style apartment, a contemporary home, or a minimalist architectural project.
Because it embodies both the high standards of luxury design and a commitment to local, responsible manufacturing.
Because it showcases French craftsmanship, with a special focus on finishing touches and manufacturing.
Because it proves that an everyday object can become a design statement—in the literal sense of the word.
Choosing a piece by Inga Sempé is much more than simply treating yourself to a beautiful object: it means embracing a vision of design that is at once poetic, thoughtful, and profound. With the Sempé door handle, she offers us a perfect distillation of her approach: a tactile experience, a material crafted with delicacy, combined with a soft, contemporary form.
