‘Everything useful must be beautiful’. Everything useful must be beautiful.
This model 0689 is very similar to the model 639 designed by Wilhelm Wagenfeld (1900-1990) in 1934, inspired by the Bauhaus spirit. Model 639 was awarded the Gold Medal at the 1937 Paris International Exhibition.
This service from the 1930s is both modern for its time and timeless, just as Wagenfeld intended. It is made of porcelain from the still-famous Fürstenberg factory in Germany, elegant and unadorned, chic but not ostentatious. Fürstenberg has been synonymous with quality since 1747.
Material, function and design come together to create a harmonious unit. Wilhelm Wagenfeld designed the handles for the lids and jugs in the shape of a disc and linked them to the object with functional short handles of classic elegance.
The ivory porcelain is soberly decorated with a raspberry-red stripe and a gold fillet, or with large flat gold areas in agate stone on the handles and knobs. The combination of ivory, red and gold is very harmonious.
The shapes are pure, balanced, modern and unique. A chic, sober table service.
Tea set 480 euros.
Eight coffee cups and saucers and sugar bowl 280 euros (not yet listed separately, please contact me).
