Rosenthal Phi/design: Cairn Young

Cairn Young has designed the Phi collection for Rosenthal featuring five vases with striking surface structures: Freeze, Spindrift, City, Manhattan and Snow. Complex, spiral-shaped geometric patterns cover the white porcelain bodies, transforming them into sculptural objects with an innovative 3D effect. Triangles become frosty blossoms, crystals become snowflakes and cubic shapes form a skyline. The effect made by light refracting on the vase surfaces adds a poetic element. These items are beautiful both as standalone pieces or arranged as a decorative vase ensemble.

‘Ever since my father gave me a flip book as a child, I have been fascinated by how static objects can be made to look as if they are moving,’ explains British designer Cairn Young (1963), who is originally from California, but launched his career as an architect and designer at Kingston University London. For many years now, Cairn Young has been one of the most prominent names of the British design scene. He was also involved in developing the multi-award-winning Rosenthal A la carte collection, bringing to bear his remarkable flair for volume and shape.
