Rosenthal - Jan Padrnos - Vase - Glass

Rosenthal Triu is a fusion of contemporary German precision and distinctive Czech product design. Product Details • Design and Concept: Triu consists of three slender, elegantly intertwined U-shaped tubes that merge into a single sculptural form. At first glance, the vase creates the illusion of interwoven metal pipes—a masterful optical trick. • Material: Crafted from robust borosilicate glass (a type of glass exceptionally resistant to thermal shock and mechanical impact). • Finish: The metallic effect and high-gloss sheen of the copper (or gold/silver) versions are achieved by applying a thin, refined layer of titanium (titanization) to the glass surface. • Function: The vase features a total of six openings for flowers; however, thanks to its unique geometry, it works perfectly even when empty, serving as a standalone sculptural piece. Origin and Context • Product Launch (2018): The Triu vase collection was officially unveiled to the public in early 2018 as part of the prestigious Rosenthal studio-line. • Period / Style: It belongs to 21st-century contemporary design, drawing significant influence from architectural and industrial minimalism. The design achieved great success shortly after its launch; the concept proved so popular that, in 2020, the designer developed an expanded variation for Rosenthal called "Seven" (featuring seven intertwined tubes). • Designer: The author of the vase is the famous Czech designer Jan Padrnos (born in 1967). Padrnos began his career in mechanical engineering and architecture before fully devoting himself to product design, which is clearly reflected in the strict, technical geometry of this vase. His works are in the permanent exhibitions of the Museum of Applied Art in Prague and the Moravian Gallery in Brno.
