Rosenthal - Daily life

Rosenthal Daily Life/design: Ming-Ju Hsieh

Most people spend a significant amount of their time in the office. Enjoying eating is therefore an integral part of life both inside and outside of work, which is sometimes over in a flash and sometimes celebrated as a scheduled break. For Ming-Ju Hsieh, the office is a place where dreams are made and fulfilled thanks to ideas and visions but also our individual lifestyles in the workplace. Stemming from this idea is Daily Life, a practical all-rounder collection that has only five multifunctional pieces. Paper models provided inspiration for the innovative design and the authentic appearance with its distinctive fold lines, which resembles the most frequently used material in the office – paper. In addition to a very special aesthetic, which both well and truly reflects the spirit of the age and encourages a sustainable interaction with food that moves away from the use of plastic or paper plates, the use of paper results above all in a new and fresh style of table culture.

Ming-Su Hsieh (born 1983) studied design at Tunghai University in Taiwan and completed his Master of Arts in Design at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. Hsieh has been working as a freelance product designer since 2014, designing furniture and accessories amongst other items.
