Product description
Martin Freyer, renowned for his innovative approach to porcelain artistry, left an indelible mark on the landscape of contemporary porcelain design. This 27 cm tall bisque porcelain vase, designed by Freyer himself for Rosenthal Studio-Line in 1960s, belongs to the series of vases under the title "Plissée", which is considered to be the highlight of his designs for Rosenthal. The original Plissée vase on sale here was materialized in the 1960s, as the specific design of Rosenthal stamp incline. Standing at 27 cm, the vase boasts a unique bisque porcelain composition—a type of unglazed porcelain renowned for its delicate texture, and soft matte finish. The Plissée vase's allure lay not only in its size and composition but in its distinctive design language, an iconic design of the Op Art movement. The Rosenthal Studio-Line, revered for its commitment to innovation and collaboration with notable designers, provided the perfect canvas for Freyer's artistic vision. Founded in 1961, this avant-garde studio sought to challenge the norms of porcelain design by infusing it with modern sensibilities. Freyer's partnership with Rosenthal Studio-Line thus epitomized the symbiotic relationship between artist and institution, resulting in a vessel of extraordinary beauty. **The Designer:** Hans Martin Freyer (1909-1975) was a German painter and designer. He was born in Hanover, Germany, and studied at the at the Technische Universität Darmstadt (Darmstadt University of Technology). In 1933, he spent time in the Balkans, Italy, France, and Switzerland. After returning to Germany, he studied at the Universität der Künste Berlin (University of Art Berlin) and the Reimann School in Berlin. From 1937 to 1938, Freyer worked as a landscape architect, interior designer, and set designer in the US. Upon his return to Germany, he designed the Volkswagen logo. During the Second World War, Freyer worked as an art designer for stage productions of opera houses, cabaret stages, and variety shows. Throughout his career, Freyer also worked as a portrait artist, as well as a graphic and industrial designer for surface decorations and structures. He created designs for wallpapers, textiles, decorative materials, and light metal. From 1964 to 1974, he designed for Rosenthal Porcelain, developing relief decorations for glass and porcelain vases of the studio-line. His most well-known design is the Pleated Vase, designed in 1968, which was known in white and black.
