Rosenthal - Blown 2nd Edition

Rosenthal Blown 2nd Edition/Design:Cédric Ragot

Wind is one of the most powerful natural forces on Earth and has unimaginable power to deform. Following on from his Blown design, Cédric Ragot developed another object that is transformed into an unusual design object by the combination of a fleeting glance and the durability of porcelain. The collection is available in glazed white, matte white and matte black.

After graduating from the French National Institute for Advanced Studies in Design, ENSCI-Les Ateliers, Cédric Ragot (1973 – 2015) set up his own design studio. Among other pursuits, he designed furniture for leading furniture manufacturers such as Roche Bobois. In doing so, he remained true to his philosophy at all times: ‘There’s a great deal of variation in the way the visible part of my works can turn out. In any case, however, I try to find a surprising solution to a given task. This means I have to combine the functional appearance of an object with a suggested conceptual and stylistic solution in order to create greater possibilities of choice corresponding to everybody’s emotional and spiritual longings.’
