Trendy ice cream colours and optical braided patterns bring an elegant lightness to the table with the new Rosenthal Kumi line.
This collection is named after ‘Kumihimo,’ a traditional Japanese technique where yarns, ribbons, and cords are skillfully woven together. Inspired by the craftsmanship of baskets, leather handbags, and furniture, Kumi showcases the delicate appearance of woven fabrics.
The new line also plays with trendy, delicate ice cream tones, featuring pastel colours such as white tone, blue tone, mint tone, and rose tone. The range includes bread plates, breakfast plates, dinner plates, soup plates, cereal bowls, and mugs, all made of silicate porcelain, a material that is particularly break and edge-resistant and slightly transparent. The very flat rim and the unglazed exterior of the bowls accentuate the lively and delicate woven structure.
Rosenthal staged the shoot for the Kumi collection in Poggenpohl’s elegant showroom in Herford. The two brands, known for their long tradition, masterful craftsmanship, innovation, and top quality in their respective fields, are entering a special partnership this year. Starting in September, Rosenthal porcelain will also be presented in the newly designed Poggenpohl showroom to complement the kitchens. Joint events are planned to inspire both kitchen and tableware enthusiasts.
Bread plates start at 16 euros (RRP), and the cereal bowl at 19.50 euros (RRP). Kumi will be available in stores and at rosenthal.de from September.
