Pure poetry - a visit to the Hamburg stylist and interior designer

For Hamburg-based stylist and interior designer Wolfram Neugebauer, every piece of porcelain tells a story: He first encountered the “ KPM Berlin ” as a young man at a friend’s house and fell in love with her ARKADIA collection right away. It’s a love that continues to this day: His friend bequeathed her KPM dinner service to him, thus laying the foundation for a lifelong passion. Since then, the classic ARKADIA porcelain has been an indispensable part of his sophisticated table settings—it takes center stage at every dinner table.

Trude Petri was responsible for the design of this collection from 1938. The various motifs of the relief medallions, which are based on the ancient cameo tradition, were designed by the sculptor and porcelain modeler Siegmund Schütz: They are not only eye-catching, but also stimulate conversation at the table, Neugebauer knows: "Naiad, Neptune or shell: many of my friends have a favorite ARKADIA motif or ask about the meaning of the figures in the Biscuit." This is a charming way of bringing the stories of the dreamland of Arcadia to today's dinner table.

Black and white with a touch of silver and natural tones in the kitchen: this bowl is from the ARKADIAcollection, the white jug is from URBINO.

Wolfram Neugebauer's interior design focuses on furniture classics such as the three-armed wall light by Serge Mouille - and lots of black.
