The relief becomes especially expressive in evening light, so they work beautifully on a dining table, mantel, or narrow shelf where candlelight can echo the surface and add warmth to the white porcelain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHans Martin Freyer \u003c\/strong\u003e(1909–1975) was a German painter, graphic and industrial designer whose work ranged from architecture and stage design to textiles and product design. Best known to the wider public as the creator of the refined Volkswagen VW logo in 1938, he later worked as a freelance designer of patterns, structures and reliefs. From 1964 to 1974 he designed for Rosenthal, developing sculptural relief decorations for glass and porcelain in the studio-line – most famously the Plissée vases, whose pleated, fabric-like white or black bisque surfaces remain icons of mid-century and Op-Art influenced German porcelain design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRosenthal\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rosenthal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57012615512439,"sku":"755_1284","price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/0434\/3415\/files\/755_1284_DUO_CandleHolder_Rosenthal_MartinFreyer_17_5-1.jpg?v=1776273434","url":"https:\/\/www.berlinretrofinds.com\/products\/cascade-candle-holder-pair-martin-freyer-for-rosenthal-1970s","provider":"Berlin Retro Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
