Rosenthal Porcelain Bowl – Laura Fiume Design, Germany, 1990s

This vibrant porcelain bowl by Laura Fiume for Rosenthal Studio-Line is a striking example of 1990s postmodern design, merging Italian artistic flair with German precision. Produced in satin-finished porcelain, its sharply geometric silhouette and vivid, abstract pattern make it a collector’s piece emblematic of the decade’s bold aesthetic.

Laura Fiume, an Italian painter and designer born in Milan in 1953, is celebrated for her colourful, graphic compositions that bridge fine art and design. Collaborating with Rosenthal during the 1980s-1990s, she brought a distinctly Mediterranean exuberance to the brand’s otherwise minimalist tradition. Her works for the Studio-Line series reinterpret classical forms through vibrant pattern, rhythm, and humour.

This bowl exemplifies her style: an expressive combination of bright yellow, coral, mint green, and blue, rendered in rhythmic geometric motifs across a sculptural form with pointed, zigzag contours. The design reflects the influence of the Memphis Group, whose radical, joyful approach to form and colour reshaped European design in the 1980s.

Founded in 1879, Rosenthal has long been synonymous with innovation and artistic collaboration. Through its Studio-Line, launched in the 1960s, the manufacturer invited renowned artists such as Fiume, Dorothy Hafner, and Tapio Wirkkala to create avant-garde porcelain that blurred the boundaries between art, design, and utility.
