Les Rêves Byzantins

The new Rosenthal meets Versace “Les Rêves Byzantins” collection, designed by Donatella Versace, echoes inspiration from the magnificent ancient era and the legendary world of  Arabian Nights.

This new series is a rediscovery of historic and exotic influences from the Far East that have been expanded on after the successful launch of Versace/ Rosenthal's iconic 'Marco Polo' dinner set.Matching the opulent baroque motifs of the Maison with iconic symbols of Medieval art, the Arabian Crescent Moon alternates with golden graphic patterns and sparkling nettings with glamorous very Versace pink background.

Angels galore...

SANSSOUCI & Marie Antoinette

SANSSOUCI is the oldest Rosenthal design still in use. It was first launched in 1894. The history of the origin of this design is closely associated with Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam and with Frederic the Great. It is the perfect example of quality "Made by Rosenthal": fine, translucent porcelain, lavishly made designs/reliefs and a wealth of decorative designs, some hand-painted. The opulent, new "Chatelaine" decorative design on the Rococo design SANSSOUCI brings the glamour and cheerfulness of the Rococo era to the laid table. This tendency towards enjoying life in magnificent style was picked up on in the cinema film "Marie-Antoinette". Pleasure without regret. Be it accessories for the home or confectionary products, be it music or film - the revival of this pleasure-loving era competes with the cool taste currently en vogue.

Artists’ Gifts by Ekaterina Moré

All her figures present themselves as highly feminine, with flowing hair and big heart-shaped lips. The sensuousness and eroticism imbued in most of her pictures are enormously attractive. The artist describes her pictures as “Daring to be beautiful”.

“Feel Good” porcelain bowls

The decorative design of both porcelain dishes / bowls concerns itself with enjoyment in the widest sense of the word. Ekaterina Moré intended to create a moment of enjoyment, inner tranquillity and harmony with this motif. For the artist, two women in a close embrace, surrounded by sensuous vines, embody this moment. Just like the casually reclining woman with a joyous expression on her face, towards which the bunch of tulips inclines in order to pick up some of her vitality.

“Colourful Dance” vases

The “Colourful Dance” motifs are about the subject of dance. The women embody vitality and pure positive energy. The design, in various strong colours, is meant to create a harmonic melody that unfolds its full power through the women in motion.

“Floral Dream” glass gifts

TAC Dynamic

The classic from the Rosenthal studio-line, not least owing to its expressive form.

The new, graphical decorative lines emphasise the special shape of the service, lending elegant appeal.

These characteristic curves are stressed by the dynamic lines of the decorative design. The interplay between positive and negative allows the design to be exceedingly exciting. Colours conform to the black-white trend, without attempting to steal the limelight.

Walter Gropius The “TAC01” tea service is a design from the founder of the Bauhaus movement, Walter Gropius, in cooperation with “The Architects Collaboration”, from 1969. The idea of the semicircle dominates. More about Walter Gropius »

Rosenthal meets Versace »Primavera«

Versace fascinates. The unique compositions of this legendary brand make myths from antiquity, baroque sensuousness and modern elements fuse into one luxurious dream from another world. "Spring", with its liveliness and colourful flowers bursting from the ground just everywhere, seems to be simply perfect for a Versace interpretation.

Primavera is timeless and highly fashionable at the same time. Only top quality materials and finish can make this world of luxury and dreams become reality.  This decorative design illustrates the dreamy ambience of an enchanting garden, skilfully interpreted by Rosenthal. It depicts a colourful cascade of flowers accompanied by unmistakable baroque ornaments. Pulsating orange hues encounter intensive blues, providing the perfect background for a flower festival of riotous colours. Rosenthal meets Versace: LUXURY FOR THE SENSES. PURE LIFESTYLE

Rosenthal meets Versace » Arabesque gold«

Dining in style is highly fashionable. With "Arabesque gold", "Rosenthal meets Versace" presents an unusual porcelain and glass lifestyle world for the festively laid table of modern ambience.   The elegant, organic "Arabesque" design stands for a new opulence in which formal details, such as cone-shaped lids and outward-bent edges, speak their own inimitable language.

As in baroque frescos, the powerful arabesque element symbolises the expressive style of Versace. The special nature of this motif lies in the way the ornaments appear to move – seemingly intertwining in an endless cycle. Noble gold in four different shades – white gold, red gold and two yellow gold tones – create luxurious highlights on fresh white, sometimes appearing sparkling, sometimes matt. This extensive range of articles, consisting of a complete dining service and coffee set, knows no bounds when it comes to imaginative tablescaping.

This diversity is augmented by an exquisite glass collection that picks up on the large-scale arabesque motif within the sand-blasted decorative design. Lucid and practical in shape, the Champagne, wine and water glasses provide a magnificent finish to any sumptuous festively laid table. Carafe and red wine decanter lend stylish charm to a fine vintage. And for the evening to end in comfortable harmony, whiskey and longdrink glasses as well as glass and bottle coasters, an ice bucket and dishes/bowls of various sizes are all included. "Arabesque" makes every moment an unforgettable experience.

Newly developed ceramic material from Rosenthal

"Inovan" was developed at the Rosenthal Institut für Werkstofftechnik (Rosenthal Institute of Materials Science). "Inovan" is a new ceramic material that has excellent thermal shock resistance properties. This makes products made of "Inovan" ideally suitable as oven-to-table-ware. Food can be brought direct from oven to table. No more inconvenient and dangerous transferring of hot food into serving dishes etc.. This means food not only looks more appetising, it also stays hot longer. The heat storage capacity of this ceramic material makes sure of that. With the development of a range of casseroles and dishes made from this ovenproof material, the Thomas brand has once again extended its expertise "in the kitchen".

These products were displayed at Ambiente 2004 in the "Genio" collection by Stefan Diez, and have been awarded national and international design prizes since that time. The "Inovan" material is also totally new in terms of aesthetics; with its unobtrusive, slightly glossy surface structure, "Inovan" clearly stands apart from all ceramic materials encountered to date. But, despite this slightly textured surface, no metal rubs from metal kitchen utensils and serving spoons etc..                         All these advantageous properties have been made possible by an entirely new manufacturing process.

It just makes coffee fun!

»suomi« - by Timo Sarpaneva

In the fast food and coffee-shop era, setting the table with procelain is an expression of nobleness.  This same mentality gives such great importance to a well cooked meal, so that the service form and the food content combine to create a thoroughly pleasurable experience.

The art lies in the choice of ingredients; which are not just there for tasting, but also to look at and feel.

In contrast to the artificialness of our hectic times, the best ingredients are natural and fresh.  Timo Sarpaneva was inspired by nature in his design of the service » Suomi «  for Rosenthal studio-line.
