Rosenthal Vase Fondale achieves an iF Design Award 2018
The simple and modern vase Fondale, designed by the Office for Product Design for Rosenthal, wins the third design award in a row with this year's iF Design Award. Thanks to its cylindrical body and its conical collar, the vase acts as a perfect stage for creative floral displays. The purist design is underlined by a glossy surface inside the cone that is available in platinum, gleaming gold, plain white or striking black and produces a reflective effect that accentuates individual flowers or grasses. A delicate lattice design makes the flowers almost float in the vase and makes the creation part of a distinctive design culture.
Office for Product Design is an international design and consulting studio based in Hong Kong, and was established in 2007 by Nicol Boyd (born 1976) and Tomas Rosén (born 1975). With their thoughtful product ideas and designs in the fields of consumer electronics, lighting, furniture and homeware, the two designers have already won numerous prestigious awards. In 2015, the duo designed the simple and functional Kitchen by Thomas collection of kitchen utensils for Rosenthal GmbH, which secured prizes such as the 2015 Red Dot Design Award: Product Design.
With more than 6,400 submissions from 54 countries, the iF Design Award is one of the most coveted awards worldwide. The award is being granted since more than 60 years by the iF International Forum Design GmbH, Hanover.
