BERLIN
1996
The collection BERLIN collection succeeds in doing what only the city that gave its name to this unconventional design can do: creating something beautiful from the symbiosis of contradictions. It combines tradition and innovation, classic form and new accents. The convex-concave interplay of the plate flags and the reproduction of the perfect spherical shape in the pot and lid handle in contrast to the characteristic inverted handle demonstrate the compatibility of opposites, just as its designer, the Italian Enzo Mari, once did. Developed by Mari in 1996 in collaboration with the designers at KPM Berlin, the series is characterized by its functional character, which earned it the "iF Design Award". Gone are the days of firmly defined shapes and standards on the table - the collection offers as much creative freedom as its namesake, the city of Berlin.
