Product description
**Lino Sabattini: Harmonizing Neo-Classicism and Modernism in Porcelain** In the world of 20th-century design, Lino Sabattini stands as a luminary, blending the aesthetic heritage of Neo-Classicism with the clean, elegant lines of Modernism. A close associate of renowned architect and designer Gio Ponti, Sabattini is best known for his groundbreaking metalwork. However, his artistic genius extended beyond metals, as evidenced by his collaboration with the iconic porcelain manufacturer **Rosenthal** during the 1980s and 1990s. **Sabattini's Porcelain Vision** Sabattini’s foray into porcelain with Rosenthal resulted in a collection of pieces that embody the sophisticated elegance and functional minimalism that defined his style. These pieces are a testament to his ability to modernize traditional materials like porcelain, known for its delicate beauty, while maintaining his signature approach to form and function. This stunning set features **four bisque porcelain pieces**, including three vases and one tall candle holder, from the Rosenthal **Studio Line**, a series that pushed the boundaries of contemporary design in porcelain. **Product Description:** - **Designer**: Lino Sabattini - **Manufacturer**: Rosenthal - **Material**: Bisque Porcelain (Matte exterior, Glossy interior) - **Color**: White - **Period**: 1980s–1990s - **Country of Origin**: Germany **Dimensions**: - Vase 1: Height 25 cm - Vase 2: Height 22.5 cm - Vase 3: Height 20 cm - Candle holder: Height 30 cm The smooth matte finish on the exterior creates a striking contrast with the glossy interior, characteristic of Sabattini's mastery of materials. The forms are minimalistic yet dynamic, with gently curved Y-shaped tops, evoking both elegance and modernism. The tallest piece, a 30 cm candle holder, creates a visual anchor, while the three shorter vases range from 20 to 25 cm in height, offering balance and symmetry to the set. **Condition**: These pieces are in excellent vintage condition, with minimal wear consistent with normal use and age. **Artistic Context and Significance** Sabattini’s work for Rosenthal represents a high point in modernist design, where he combined the simplicity of form with functionality, while still allowing for the emotional impact of fine art. The vases and candle holders in this set are both sculptural and utilitarian, reflecting Sabattini's philosophy that every object should blend artistic beauty with purpose. These pieces transcend their primary functions, becoming standalone works of art that elevate any space.
