Nora Lange loves art, photography and baking. In the third issue of our KPM Berlin customer magazine WEISS..., the TV presenter, food blogger and mother explains how porcelain from KPM Berlin plays a role in this and why some pieces are true works of art for her.

KPM has been with my family and me for many years. I can even remember my first encounter with the wonderful porcelain. It was a weekend on Sylt - I love the island with its thatched houses, the low-pitched roofs, the typical island roses, the scent of salt and heather. We arrived late in the evening and were invited to breakfast with friends the next morning. On a slightly weathered teak table on the terrace was the KURLAND crockery stood on a slightly blue teak table on the terrace, with the North Sea shimmering blue in the sunlight in the background. A sight to fall in love with! I knew immediately that I wanted the porcelain for my home too.

Today, KURLAND accompanies us from breakfast to dinner. While my family is still asleep, I drink my first tea from the to-go cup. This half hour very early in the morning is precious: a little luxury that I enjoy in peace and quiet. I usually sit at the dining table and plan the day ahead. I try to schedule all appointments and errands in such a way that there is still enough time for us as a family. And, of course, for our two dogs Grace and Kelly. My husband and I are art lovers. He infected me with his passion a few years ago.

On her Instagram account and the food blog "All hunky dory", Nora Lange presents delicacies on porcelain from KPM Berlin. In her home, she decorates eye-catching flowers and leaves in the CHINESE, JAPANESE and SALIER vases or repurposes pieces from the LAB series as plant pots.

We combine some works of art with vases from KPM. Currently those that are connected to the Bauhaus centenary.

Our collection includes works by a wide variety of artists from Germany and abroad. The focus is on contemporary works. I particularly like the fact that we are now friends with many artists. We combine some of their works with vases from KPM. At the moment, especially with those related to the Bauhaus centenary. The art school founded by Walter Gropius in 1919 was something completely new at the time in terms of its nature and concept, the first time that art and craftsmanship were brought together. KPM Berlin took this as an opportunity to combine tradition and modernity in the New Objectivity style. The design team has reinterpreted the HALLE vase series for the current collection, which was created to celebrate 100 years of Bauhaus. We particularly like it because porcelain is a central material in art. Not only in Asia, but also in Europe and especially in Germany. Each piece is like a sculpture. Combined with painting and graphics, the Bauhaus-style HALLE vases have a very special effect.

I try to create my own art as a still-life and food photographer. It is important to me that the photos tell a story and evoke emotions. Photographers call this storytelling, because our brains process images many times faster than text. And so an image conveys an emotion, a moment or a mood much faster. It's a privilege for me to be able to work with KPM. It allows me to combine my love of KPM Berlin porcelain with my passion for photography.
