Rosenthal Launches Sonetto Collection and Wins German Design Award

In just a few weeks, at this year’s Ambiente trade fair, Rosenthal will debut the Sonetto collection, elevating casual fine dining to a whole new level. Sonetto, the Italian word for "sonnet," is a tribute to the oldest form of Italian poetry – a melodious, lyrical composition.

Inspired by this tradition, Rosenthal’s latest collection transforms tableware into a true poetic masterpiece. Instead of stanzas and verses, it harmoniously blends organic and floral forms with a variety of materials. Culinary delights can be elegantly presented across multiple levels, while the collection captivates not only with its exquisite porcelain but also with the seamless interplay of stoneware and glass.

The porcelain plates in the Sonetto collection play with height, depth, and trompe-l’œil effects. For example, a raised floral-shaped centre creates a pedestal-like presentation for the finest dishes.

Floral motifs also feature in the bowls, cups, and plates, either through the outer shapes or delicate details, such as the cup handles. The collection’s colour palette is primarily inspired by fine white glazes, both glossy and matte, with elegant gold accents adding a touch of sophistication.

By contrast, items like footed bowls, pitchers, or small vessels with or without lids are crafted from stoneware with a raw, handmade aesthetic and robust shapes, offering a striking complement to the delicate porcelain pieces.

Rosenthal’s new Sonetto collection has already been named a winner at the German Design Award 2025 in the category "Excellent Product Design – Tabletop."

A small flat porcelain plate is available starting at €14 RRP, while a small stoneware pitcher is priced at approximately €20 RRP.

The Sonetto collection will be available from March 2025 in stores and online at rosenthal.de.
