ROSENTHAL HERITAGE COLLECTION

The Reinterpretation Of Tradition And Modernity

Rosenthal, with its award-winning porcelain design, trendy lifestyle collections and modern, elegant classics, raises the bar time and again for aesthetics and individuality. Enriching the Rosenthal world are new interior collections and accessories, designer objects that go far beyond the limits of a conventional table setting.

Now, the brand’s history and traditions have been translated by Italian designer Gianni Cinti. The Rosenthal Heritage collection is an eclectic interplay of shapes, colours and patterns from different eras and cultures, interwoven with personal memories.

In the 140-year history of Rosenthal, various forms of visual expression overlap, says Gianni Cinti, who was surprised by the treasures he discovered in the Rosenthal Archive in Selb. Working with porcelain for the first time, Cinti was fascinated by this oldest of materials that is yet modern versatile. While the décors Midas, Turandot and Dynasty differ strikingly from each other, a visual bracket made of gold tones holds the collection together. All three designs include Cinti's extremely imaginative handwriting and the abstracted borrowings from Rosenthal's history. He sees the decors as new classics passed down from generation to generation.

Each of the three décor themes is understood as a holistic concept and complemented by matching drinking glass series and linen napkins from Rosenthal as well as accessories from Sambonet.
