Rosenthal - Zaha Hadid Collection: Strip "Black Platinum"

Black, glossy, monolithic - the new vase Strip "Black Platinum" appears as if from another planet. Sculpturally, similar to a skyscraper, the form strives upwards. The prominent design is elegantly interrupted by delicate lines in platinum that nestle against the porcelain body. It is an art in itself to set the precious metal so wafer-thin and precisely fitting into millimeter-fine grooves and to shape the once liquid porcelain mass into an artistic vase object, as only the porcelain designers at Rosenthal have mastered.

Strip "Black Platinum" is available as a vase in 30 cm, 40 cm and 45 cm. Each size is limited to 100 pieces.

The Iraque-born Zaha Hadid (1950 - 2016) was one of the most well-known female architects in the world, whose bold designs were long considered unbuildable. In 2004 she was the first woman to be awarded the Pritzker Prize. Hadid founded the architectural practice Zaha Hadid Architects in 1979, after studying mathematics and later receiving her diploma from the Architectural Association School in London. Projects with fashion icons such as Chanel or Louis Vuitton and brands such as adidas, Alessi, Artemide or B&B Italia underlined her great creative potential and her desire to explore new territories again and again. Her most important architectural works include the fire station on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, which also helped her to achieve her breakthrough, the Guangzhou Opera House or the library of the Vienna University of Economics and Business campus from 2013.
