Arzberg - Ramo Form 2000

Porcelain of poetic beauty

“Ramo”, the Arzberg design from the artist Flavia Fleming, applies subtle but exciting, natural artwork to fine porcelain. Branch motifs with fresh buds, blooms and leaf accents are hand-painted in water colours on the clear and aesthetic Arzberg Form 2000. “I was inspired by looking at the treetops in a park on a spring day,” said the artist, who studied at Berlin’s Weissensee art college.

Despite their delicacy, the motifs on “Ramo” seem headstrong: Flavia Fleming does not eschew bold colours, as shown by the deep brown of the branches and the vibrant green and red of the buds. With light strokes, she superimposes drawings filled with poetic beauty onto the simple Arzberg Form 2000, developed by Heinrich Löffelhardt. A special feature of the “Ramo” collection to accentuate every table are the platters, bread plates and espresso saucers in light celadon-green.

Form 2000 was designed for Arzberg by Heinrich Löffelhardt in 1954: timeless, puristic and elevated above all fashion. For this service he received renowned design awards in the 1950s: for example, Form 2000 was awarded the “Gold Medal” by the international jury at the Xth Triennale in Milan in 1954.
