Product description
**Lino Sabattini: Harmonizing Neo-Classicism and Modernism in Porcelain** In the realm of design, Lino Sabattini stands as a luminary, his creative vision seamlessly merging the aesthetics of Neo-Classicism and Modernism. Following in the footsteps of his esteemed mentor, Gio Ponti, Sabattini propelled himself to prominence through his innovative metalwork. However, his artistic brilliance extended beyond the realm of metals, as exemplified by his remarkable vases and objects crafted in collaboration with the renowned manufacturer Rosenthal. One of Sabattini's notable ventures into porcelain design occurred during the 1980s and 1990s. Working in conjunction with Rosenthal, a distinguished German company renowned for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship, Sabattini delved into the medium of porcelain, unleashing a wave of creativity that melded tradition with contemporary sensibilities. The exquisite porcelain vases designed by Sabattini for Rosenthal bear testament to his ability to breathe new life into a traditional material. Porcelain, known for its delicate nature and rich history, found itself imbued with Sabattini's distinct artistic expression. Each piece served as a harmonious marriage between the timeless allure of Neo-Classicism and the sleek lines of Modernism. This curated duo, featuring black & white bisque porcelain vases standing at 20 cm with 27 cm width and 10 cm depth, commands attention with its elegant proportions. Sabattini's deft touch is evident in the vase's form, which strikes a delicate balance between classical curves and contemporary minimalism, while the candle holder mirrors this refined aesthetic. The smooth porcelain surfaces, matte on the outside and glossy within, showcase his mastery over the material, evoking a sense of refined sophistication. As with all of Sabattini's designs, the interplay between form and function is integral. While the vase's primary purpose lies in holding and displaying floral arrangements and the candle holder in creating a warm ambient light, these pieces transcend their utilitarian nature, assuming the role of sculptural objects that elevate their surroundings. Their presence radiates a sense of grace, quietly commanding attention through their unassuming beauty. Lino Sabattini's porcelain designs for Rosenthal offer a captivating glimpse into the mind of a visionary artist. By infusing Neo-Classicism with Modernist sensibilities, Sabattini breathed new life into traditional materials, paving the way for a design language that defied conventions. With each porcelain piece, Sabattini's ingenuity and Rosenthal's exceptional craftsmanship converge, resulting in objects that transcend their utilitarian purpose, becoming testaments to the enduring power of artistic innovation. **Designer:** Lino Sabattini **Manufacturer:** Rosenthal **Series:** Studio Line **Model:** TASCA **Material:** Bisque Porcelain **Colour:** black & white, matte outside, glossy inside **Country of Origin:** Germany **Design Sate:** 1986 ** Production Date:** 1980s-1990s **Condition:** Excellent vintage condition with reasonable wear consistent with normal use and age **Dimensions:** - H 20 cm × W 27 cm × D 10 cm
