Diameter: 7.2cm Height: 4cm Meet the designer Tassilo von Grolman has one philosophy that overrides all others, "Simple is the most difficult". Every product, every design, every service is one-of-a-kind and has to be inimitable. This is our ambition in our work. We bring uniqueness to light. Design serves to attract attention and communicate a product’s essence in a way that is compelling, clear, and recognizable for the target group. This is indispensable for success. “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” – Albert Einstein Grolman's CV reads like a who's who of intrnational recognition. Museums worldwide from MoMA & Cooper Hewit in New York, to V&A in London to the Design Council in Moscow and not forgetting the East Frisian Tea Museum! Consultancies include NESTLÉ, MARLBORO & DEUTSCHE BANK. About KPM Berlin Frederick the Great founded the Royal Porcelain Manufactory in Berlin, 1763. He gives the manufactory its name and his symbol, the royal sceptre. During the 18th and 19th century KPM Berlin porcelain can be found on the tables of European royal houses and the Russian tsarist dynasty. High-ranking guests of the Federal President still dine from the Rocaille service at Bellevue Palace today. During the Bauhaus era the age of sweeping ornamentation is over, less is more. Gerhard Marcks, Marguerite Friedländer, Trude Petri and Siegmund Schütz, among others, leave their mark on porcelain design at the manufactory. Trude Petri's refined Urbino dinner service is created in 1929, based on the most perfect of all shapes: the sphere. URBINO was awarded the Grand Prix at the Paris World Exhibition in 1937 and is now a permanent exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. As the 1990's developed asymmetry and abstraction supersede the strict forms of the Bauhaus era. A collaboration with Italian designer Enzo Mari resulted in a series of slender vases with square stainless steel feet and the Berlin collection, which won the iF Design Award. Berlin, one of our favourite porcelain sets, was an early addition to our catalogue and we are proud to say is still available from The Home, Salts Mill.
