Rosenthal - Sirop

Rosenthal Sirop/design: Cédric Ragot

In all his designs for Rosenthal, French designer Cédric Ragot’s focus is on the plasticity of materials and the melting of different structures into one object. With the Sirop vase, he showcases the sweet side of this idea. Like honey or syrup, the beautifully shaped body of the vase flows over a rigid geometric base in a movement that also evokes childhood associations. The expressive collection is available in four variants, with either a gold or platinum base.

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.’
