Intertwined shape and flowing lines: The new Rosenthal vase object "Node"
Intertwined shape, flowing lines, soft porcelain - the ingredients for the new vase of the Rosenthal Studio-line are simple, the result is beguiling. Designer Martin Hirth, one of the most acclaimed German newcomers of recent years, applies a typical design principle to the form of his new "Node" design for Rosenthal: Movement and the merging and transformation of the familiar run like a thread through the designer's product portfolio. In "Node", Hirth literally pours this principle into a voluminous, geometric knot shape and creates a vase that seems more like a sculpture than a utilitarian object. A design criterion that unites all vases in the legendary Rosenthal Studio-line.
"Node" is available in three colour versions: in white through-dyed porcelain, as well as in dark green Abyss and in rosé shade Cameo.
Martin Hirth (*1987) studied product design at the HfG Offenbach University of Art and Design. While still a student, he founded his own studio and also worked as an assistant to the designer Sebastian Herkner from 2011 to 2014. Martin Hirth's numerous award-winning designs, which have received much attention from the international trade press, have already been exhibited in Paris, Milan and Berlin. His works are characterised by a formal lightness and conceptual stringency.
