Rosenthal Studio-Line Künstler-Sammeldose No. 2 by Laura Fiume – Germany
A vibrant and highly collectible Künstler-Sammeldose designed by Italian artist Laura Fiume for Rosenthal Studio-Line. Part of Rosenthal's celebrated series of artist-designed collectible boxes, this sculptural porcelain object perfectly captures the playful spirit, bold colour palette, and graphic sophistication associated with postmodern design during the late twentieth century.
The box is conceived as a miniature work of art. Its architectural body is decorated with a lively composition of geometric stripes, zigzags, hearts, and stylised motifs in soft blue, green, turquoise, and vivid orange-red against a white porcelain ground. The design wraps seamlessly around the form, transforming the object into a three-dimensional canvas.
The lid is crowned by a charming stylised dog figure, turning a functional container into a sculptural statement piece. This playful element reflects Laura Fiume's distinctive visual language, where narrative, colour, and decoration merge into joyful compositions that blur the boundaries between fine art and design.
Produced by Rosenthal Studio-Line, the piece demonstrates the manufacturer's longstanding commitment to collaborating with contemporary artists and bringing artistic expression into everyday objects. The glossy porcelain surface enhances the freshness of the colours while showcasing Rosenthal's renowned production quality.
Artist
Laura Fiume, daughter of the celebrated Italian painter and writer Salvatore Fiume, developed a highly individual artistic language characterised by bold colour, graphic storytelling, and playful forms.
