Rosenthal - La Chute

La Chute – design: Cédric Ragot

Following on from the Fast, Squall and Blown vase designs, La Chute captures the utopian concept of freezing a movement in time. Two vase bodies melt like wax without entirely losing their shape and contours. In a manner that is simple yet precise, the design explores not only the plasticity of materials at the point where space, time and substance collide, but also the concepts of creation and infinity.

Cédric Ragot (1973–2015) set up his own design studio after graduating from the French National Institute for Advanced Studies in Design, ENSCI-Les Ateliers. Among other things, he designed furniture for leading furniture manufacturers such as Roche Bobois. In doing so, he remained true to his philosophy at all times: ‘There’s a great deal of variation in the way the visible part of my works can turn out. In any case, however, I try to find a surprising solution to a given task. This means I have to combine the functional appearance of an object with a suggested conceptual and stylistic solution in order to create greater possibilities of choice corresponding to everybody’s emotional and spiritual longings.’

  • Rosenthal vases: with flowers against autumn blues

    When the outside world turns grey and dull and the summer glimmer finally passed away, it is time to get some color inside the house. How could that be easier than with a bouquet of colorful flowers. Asters or Chrysanthemums as autumn flowers can be perfectly arranged in our Rosenthal vases and ensure a lively mood also in late summer.
