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\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Rosenthal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57012634222967,"sku":"1059","price":149.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/0434\/3415\/files\/1059_16.11.2024_1_Bowl_Rosenthal_MartinFreyer_Black_Porcelain_Matt_9-7.jpg?v=1776274359","url":"https:\/\/www.berlinretrofinds.com\/products\/plissee-porcelaine-noire-bowl-martin-freyer-for-rosenthal-1970s","provider":"Berlin Retro Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
