Sensual Shadow Plays: Velvet Rose and Velvet Blue by Rosenthal
Elaborate shadow plays and reflections, pastel colors and iridescent surfaces - these are the ingredients of Rosenthal's sensual "Velvet" collection. The designs evoke both an elegant and modern style world. In the Velvet Blue and Velvet Rose decors, color seems to dance with pattern: the metallic shimmer of blue or rose nuances play with mother-of-pearl shine and velvety matt surfaces. Depending on the angle of lighting, the décor is sometimes more, sometimes less visible and always reveals surprising details.
Velvet thrives on soft contrasts, which is why the decors have a multi-level structure. The edge of the soup plate and saucer is discreetly framed by a blue or rose-colored band, while other items, such as the plate or bowls, are fully decorated. Velvet Blue and Velvet Rose are particularly charming on the bulbous teapot and the delicate teacups, where the pattern runs out with a feathery touch of mother-of-pearl shine.
A slim vase in three different sizes in both decor designs completes the elegant collection.
Rosenthal Velvet has been developed with special iridescent metallic colors, the so-called interference colors. Depending on the angle of light, they shimmer differently every time and give a very special and effective shine on the table. All colors are cadmium and lead free.
Colored glass as a perfect complement
The ethereal lightness of the porcelain series is also reflected in the glass collection of the same name. Vases, bowls and candlesticks perfectly complement the elegant look of Velvet, but are also a visual highlight on their own.
The mouth-blown drinking glasses from the Rosenthal Heritage collection "Turandot" also look particularly elegant in combination with the delicate porcelain. New items this year are tumblers made of rose and blue glass.
