Rosenthal Studio-Line Künstler-Sammeldose No. 9
Design: Antje Brüggemann-Breckwoldt
Germany · late 20th century
Presented here is an original Künstler-Sammeldose No. 9 from the Rosenthal Studio-Line, designed by Antje Brüggemann-Breckwoldt. Conceived as a collectible art object rather than a purely functional container, this lidded porcelain box exemplifies Rosenthal’s program of inviting contemporary artists to treat porcelain as a sculptural and graphic medium.
Design & Aesthetic
The box combines a calm, rounded white porcelain body with a vividly articulated lid. Geometric motifs in red, blue, yellow, green, and black are arranged in a dynamic, almost playful rhythm, while the sculptural finial transforms the lid into a small figurative accent. The contrast between the pristine white ground and the confident graphic language is characteristic of the Künstler-Sammeldosen series—where modern art, design, and craftsmanship intersect.
Rather than illustration, the decoration works through abstraction, colour blocks, and movement, reflecting late-modern and postmodern sensibilities of the period.
