Fluen 2017
Table Service
Fürstenberg, Germany
Fluen porcelain is like a gentle, flowing movement. It's about flow, about transitions of shapes. I have tried to produce quite gentle lines, really flowing lines, and in this way to bring almost no design to the concept. You can see this quite well in the pasta bowl, which is distinguished by its continuous, gentle movement. Fluen is a universal tableware service, which appears both functional and purposeful, while also being intuitive and organic. In Fluen, unobtrusively designed vessels meet striking individual pieces. This means that Fluen adapts to varied, modern lifestyles and meets the requirement for a timeless porcelain. Alongside its white form, Fluen also has two patterns: Shifting Colors is a colourful design, based on coloured surfaces which – when one is laid over the other – give rise to a new colour. Vibrant blue, powerful gold and gentle pastel tones combine into a fascinating unity. Fine Lines is an elegant pattern which, with extremely fine lines in subtle shades of anthracite, through various shades of brown to light beige, creates refined structures. The extraordinary pattern catches the eye, leading it along the form and so emphasising the flowing design of Fluen. Both patterns can be combined individually with the white form.
