Rosenthal - Core

Core – design: Cédric Ragot

Primal femininity and the unstoppable forces of evolution are the inspiration behind the new Core design from Cédric Ragot. Like cell nuclei that are constantly splitting, each vase size forms its own, organic structure. The design also alludes to primal femininity, turning our attention to the primordial forces of creation that, if you look closely, can be observed to this day all around us in nature. This highly expressive collection is available in matte white and matte black.

Cédric Ragot (1973–2015) set up his own design studio after graduating from the French National Institute for Advanced Studies in Design, ENSCI-Les Ateliers. Among other things, 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.’
