Exceptionally unique: iF Design Award for Rosenthal vase collection Phi
The sculptural handwriting of the British Designer Cairn Young and his preference for three-dimensional designs characterize the Rosenthal vase collection Phi. Now the iF International Forum Design GmbH has honored the series for its unique product design with the iF Award 2020.
"Ever since my father gave me a flipbook as a child, I have been fascinated by how static objects can be made to look as if they are moving,’," says Cairn Young. Phi shapes triangles into frosty flowers, crystals transform into snowflakes and cubic shapes form a skyline. Thanks to the five sculptural objects Freeze, Spindrift, City, Manhattan and Snow, the iF award 2020 joins the series of more than 500 Rosenthal design prizes.
As an internationally established label, the iF Design Award honors outstanding design achievements in seven disciplines, ranging from product design to architecture and professional concept. This time, with more than 7,200 entries from over 50 countries, it is one of the most coveted awards in the design scene.
