Rosenthal - La Chute gold titanisiert vase 26 cm

Linked to the pottery of the Fast, Squall and Blown lines, La Chute embodies the utopia of the preservation of movement. Two vases melt like wax, without losing, however, entirely contours and shape. The design experiments with lightness and precision the malleability of the materials with the variation of space, time and material. It also addresses the big issues of creation and finiteness.

Cédric Ragot

Cédric Ragot was born in Dieppe on June 1, 1973 and graduated in 1999 from the Ecole nationale supérieure de création industrielle. In 2002 he opened his own studio in Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis)[2]. Throughout his career, he collaborated with companies such as Alcatel, Rosenthal, Roche Bobois, and Paco Rabanne. A polymorphic designer, Cédric Ragot advocates a transversal vision of industrial design and creation in the broadest sense. Although he has done many interventions, he constantly affirms his interest in an obvious reading of objects and proposes an intuitive and sensitive aesthetic. His studio works for prestigious clients on the design of new products but also on anticipatory projects for which he accompanies brands in their reflection and positioning. Several of his creations have been honored: a Good Design Award in 2007 for the Fast vase with Rosenthal; a Wallpaper* Design Award in 2008 for the Majordome pedestal tables with Roche Bobois; a Reddot Design Award in 2009 for Lacie flat cables; and a Reddot Design Award in 2012 for the 3Mix 5000 mixer, an emblematic product of the Krups brand. In 2014 he received the Best Design FiFi Award for the design of Paco Rabanne's Invictus perfume bottle.

 In 1879, returning from an experience in the United States of America, Philipp Rosenthal decided to open a porcelain decoration workshop in Bavaria.
In 1907 the company branded every product with its own name. The following year he bought Thomas, a brand later addressed to a youth audience.
In 1950 his son Philip took on responsibility of the company, which in 1961 inaugurated Rosenthal Studio-Line, a brand related to projects and collaborations with celebrated artists, architects, and designers.
With the inauguration of Studio-Line, starting from 60s started collaborations with Raymond Loewy and Richard Latham (Forma 2000)Tapio Wirkkala (Variation, Century)[], Mario Bellini (Cupola), Luigi Colani (Drop), Walter Gropius (TAC), Bjørn Wiinblad (Magic Flute)] and Timo Sarpaneva (Suomi) began in the 1960s. In 1993 he began his collaboration with Versace, whose Avedon's shot for the advertising campaign with Sylvester Stallone and Claudia Schiffer remains famous. When the designer died, the collaboration continued with his sister Donatella (Les Rêves Byzantins). Meanwhile, other artists and designers participate in the creation of design lines, such as Marcello Morandini, Jasper Morrison (Moon), Patricia Urquiola (Landscape).
