Emmanuel Babled (born 1967) is a French designer known for work in glass, porcelain, lighting, and furniture. Trained in Milan, he is recognized for combining artisanal craftsmanship with contemporary production, creating reduced, organic forms for brands including Rosenthal, Venini, and Baccarat.

Rosenthal, founded in 1879 in Selb, Bavaria, is one of Germany’s most important porcelain manufacturers, recognised for combining industrial production with high design standards. With its Studio-Linie programme from the 1960s onwards, Rosenthal invited international artists and designers to create avant-garde forms and décors, making pieces like this set both functional objects and design collectibles.
