Product description
**🎨 Mid-Century Artistry Meets Memphis Group Vibes in Porcelain Craftsmanship 🌟** This exceptional **Rosenthal** porcelain vase from the **1980s** brilliantly captures the bold and playful spirit of the era. Designed by **Michael Boehm** and adorned with a striking geometric pattern by **Rosemonde Nairac**, this vase stands as a vibrant nod to the **Memphis Group**, the influential postmodern design movement founded by Ettore Sottsass in 1981. The movement, known for its unconventional forms, bright colors, and geometric shapes, challenged the minimalist aesthetics of the time by infusing design with joy and energy—traits echoed in this vase. **Design Highlights**: - **Shape**: Featuring Rosenthal’s iconic *Deput* silhouette, the vase measures **23.5 cm** in height. Its sleek, modern shape serves as the perfect canvas for the dynamic patterns that evoke the **Memphis Group's** playful rebellion against conventional design norms. - **Decoration**: Nairac's bold geometric design—characterized by striking blocks of **orange, blue, grey, and black**—reflects the Memphis Group’s ethos of mixing unconventional colors and patterns. The angular, architectural forms and dotted patterns call to mind the postmodern approach that defined 1980s design, where function was often secondary to form and visual statement. **Condition**: This piece is in **excellent condition**, with no chips, cracks, or fading, preserving its vibrant mid-century and postmodern aesthetic. **Why It Stands Out**: - **Craftsmanship**: Rosenthal, celebrated for its impeccable porcelain production since 1879, continued its tradition of boundary-pushing design through collaborations with visionary artists and designers in the 1980s. This vase represents their embrace of **postmodernism**, blending traditional porcelain craftsmanship with the bold new forms and colors of the Memphis Group aesthetic. - **Memphis Group Influence**: The geometric patterns and vibrant palette are directly inspired by the postmodern ethos that Memphis brought to furniture, ceramics, and decor in the early 1980s. This vase exudes the same playful, unapologetic attitude, making it a perfect statement piece for anyone who appreciates **postmodern** design. 🌿 Whether you’re a dedicated collector of mid-century or postmodern design, or simply someone who appreciates high-quality craftsmanship with a punch of personality, this **Rosenthal vase** is sure to add a bold and artistic touch to any setting.
