Rosenthal - Brillance Design: White, Ligne d'Argent and Fleurs Sauvages

Brillance Design: White, Ligne d'Argent and Fleurs Sauvages

Bone China has become one of the most popular materials when it comes to elegant tableware. And it is no coincidence that Rosenthal has been inspired by this very special material for a new form in 2013: The name "Brillance" says it all. It stands not only for the thin body, the light weight, the high transparency and the warm sheen of the surface, but also for the shaping.

The brilliant interplay of two contrasting design elements is the formative theme here: the flat pieces and the sphere. Both implemented without compromise, they comply to form a fascinating dialogue, which results in a harmonious sense of suspense. On the one hand, there is the extremely flat plate with the extra wide rims or only minimally lowered centres in the bowl version. The counterbalance is provided by bowls and jugs, whose spherical shape is so far pronounced that they almost seem hover over the table. The geometric simplicity of the design and the advanced manufacturing technology that facilitates its realisation in the first place, create an expressive collection of distinctly elegant modernity. "Brillance" starts with a classic coffee, tea and dinner service collection comprising various cup shapes and a range of plates, which are available as flat bowls or with the characteristic broad flat rims.

Brillance "Ligne d’argent" décor

The "Ligne d'argent" décor catches the eye with its elegant understatement. A graceful, hand-painted line of platinum stylishly adorns the rim of this satin-finished piece, which is crafted from premium bone china, adding an air of reserved exclusivity to the collection.

Brillance "Fleurs Sauvages"

It almost looks as if someone has picked fresh flowers and then scattered them as if in a dream. Each individual plant is identifiable and definable in the "Fleurs Sauvages" décor. In an almost supernatural naturalness the floral dreams by the Swiss designer Regula Stüdli thrive to form a fascinating new interpretation of floral décors. The seemingly unintentionally strewn arrangements create an appealing contrast to the objective elegance of the "Brillance" form.
