Product description
Pay attention: This listing features the **Spiral Vase** designed by **Marcello Morandini** for Rosenthal’s prestigious Studio Line — one of the most iconic expressions of optical design in modern porcelain. (Not a duo any more)
A leading figure in Italian minimalism and geometric abstraction, **Marcello Morandini** (b. 1940, Mantua) is known for translating architectural order and visual rhythm into three-dimensional form. His *Spiral Vase* distills this philosophy into porcelain: a perfect cylinder animated by a continuous black-and-white spiral that gives the illusion of motion and infinite depth. The result is both mathematical and poetic — a sculptural object that captures the eye in perpetual movement.
Produced by **Rosenthal Studio Line**, the vase exemplifies the company’s ambition to merge fine art and industrial craftsmanship. The contrast between the **matte black exterior and glossy interior** intensifies its optical impact, while the precision of its execution reflects Rosenthal’s unparalleled mastery in porcelain design.
