Rosenthal Beak gift series/design: Thomas Bastide

Three sensuous, slightly conical glass vases, which feature a striking inverted segment, will become part of the Rosenthal collection in 2019. The form of the common stork’s-bill, which hides the flowers’ less attractive stems while skilfully steering the focus towards the blossoms, was the inspiration behind the distinctive look. A versatile bowl – whether it takes pride of place on the table filled with pastries or fruit, or stands alone as a single decorative item – blends in harmoniously with the ensemble.

Frenchman Thomas Bastide (*1954) comes from an artistic family. He was quick to develop an interest in shapes and volumes. He studied art and design at the National College of Graphic Arts followed by industrial design at the National School of Art and Design in Paris. As lead designer for Baccarat from 1981, he was responsible for creating some distinctive pieces. Bastide also works for brands such as Ercuis, Christofle, Hennessy Cognac, YSL Beauté and Lagostina. He also makes sculptures from glass, concrete and metal in his workshop, which has its own kiln.

    Rosenthal Dandelion glassware/design: Alvaro Uribe
    The image of the wind carrying away dandelion pollen was the inspiration behind New York designer Alvaro Uribe’s new, elegant and delicate Dandelion drinking glass and gift collection. The linear cut of the body and base ensures that the glasses sparkle from all angles and provides a striking counterpoint to the tactile, balanced shape.
