the ‘pila’ series, meaning ‘pile’ in italian is an assemblage of staked plates by german designer hanna krüger from the rosenthal studio-line. the project draws it reference from everyday life – where plate piles are created for pragmatic reasons, for washing up in the sink or stashed in the cupboard. demonstrating the clash of forms, stories and time that can develop a new aesthetic dimension, the objects allow multiple variations. the individual plates become part of the whole, a new form. the perception of the singular changes in the overall context with each object being different. the selection of plates are combined in a way that offers unique compositions. displaying the range of rosenthal’s porcelain designs: from a simple item to a more decorative one and also unconventional reliefs.

 

the ‘pila series’ will be exhibited from 7 to 11 february at ambiente 2014, frankfurt fair.
