Dear Bidders, I'm offering here a set of 2 vases designed by renowned German artist and designer Martin Freyer for Rosenthal Studio-Line. These sculptural porcelain vases are outstanding examples of late 20th-century German design. The cylindrical "Structura Paper" vase and the square "Kaskade" vase showcase Freyer's fascination with texture, movement and architectural relief, transforming porcelain into expressive three-dimensional art. Produced in Germany during the 1970s–1980s, they embody the minimalist, modernist aesthetic for which Rosenthal Studio-Line became internationally celebrated. Martin Freyer collaborated with Rosenthal between 1964 and 1974, creating some of the brand's most iconic porcelain designs. SOME GENERAL INFORMATIONS: Rosenthal, founded in 1879 in Selb (Germany), is known for high-quality porcelain and long standing collaborations with leading designers of the 20th century — theirs is a legacy of merging art and industrial design in timeless creations. Martin Freyer (1909–1974) was a German painter, graphic artist and industrial designer, also known for creating the original Volkswagen emblem and working across architecture, graphic and product design. He collaborated with Rosenthal from 1964 to 1974, contributing several influential pieces to their design program.
