The Plissee vase, with its elegant and timeless design, captures the essence of 1980s aesthetics. Designed by the acclaimed Italian architect and designer Dr. Ambrogio Pozzi, in 1985, this piece represents a harmonious fusion of form and function. Pozzi, known for his innovative and distinctive designs, achieved great acclaim for his work across various disciplines, including architecture, furniture, and product design. The collaboration between Pozzi and Rosenthal, the renowned German porcelain manufacturer, started in 1967 and resulted in the creation of exceptional pieces like the Plissee vase series, in several sizes and variations. Rosenthal, established in 1879, has a long-standing tradition of producing high-quality porcelain and collaborating with prominent designers to create iconic objects. With its commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, Rosenthal has become a leading name in the world of porcelain. Porcelain, the material used in the production of the Plissee vase, holds a rich history and has been prized for centuries due to its delicate beauty and durability. The use of white glaze on this particular vase highlights the timeless appeal of minimalism, offering a versatile and understated aesthetic that can seamlessly complement a variety of interior styles. The compact dimensions of the vase make it an ideal object for displaying delicate blooms or standing as an artful piece on its own. The carefully considered proportions and clean lines of the cone-shaped design contribute to its visual appeal, showcasing Pozzi's ability to balance simplicity and sophistication. The Plissee vase, with its historical significance, exceptional design, and meticulous craftsmanship, remains a coveted collectable for enthusiasts of vintage design and porcelain aficionados alike. Its enduring allure lies in its ability to evoke a sense of elegance and refinement, transcending time and trends.
