Berlin-based designer Gisbert Pöppler combines clean lines with an extraordinary flair for color. Since 2023, he has created three editions for KPM Berlin , in which the manufacturer’s iconic designs take on a new, distinctive look through surprising color combinations.
Gisbert Pöppler is an internationally sought-after interior designer with projects ranging from London to the Eifel region. Through his Berlin-based design practice, he combines a special passion for color, materials, and extraordinary compositions.
ÉDITION QUARTOLET
The ÉDITION QUARTOLET marks the beginning of the collaboration between KPM Berlin and Gisbert Pöppler. The Berlin-based interior designer brings his keen sense of color and proportion to the LÖBERSCHALE, designed by Wilhelm Löber in 1929. Four vibrant color combinations—Jaune, Rouge, Bleu, and Vert—are paired with striking orange accents along the rim and base, putting the classic piece’s clean lines in a whole new light. Each variant is limited to 25 pieces.
ÉDITION PAS DE TROIS
With the ÉDITION PAS DE TROIS, Gisbert Pöppler pays homage to another classic in KPM’s design history: the HALLE vase with a fluted neck, designed by Marguerite Friedlaender-Wildenhain in 1931. A rich chestnut brown unites the three vases, while their interiors glow with surprising shades of green, “ blue ,” and violet. The precise interplay of colors relieves the austere Bauhaus form of its heaviness and lends it an almost dance-like lightness—whether as a trio or as a single piece.

For his third edition with KPM Berlin , Gisbert Pöppler applies the color concept of the ÉDITION QUARTOLET to Marguerite Friedlaender-Wildenhain’s * aviator cup *. Designed in 1930, this New Objectivity classic is presented in Jaune, Rouge, Bleu, and Vert, contrasted by bright orange rims and bases. The intense color scheme highlights the precise details of the minimalist form and lends the historic “ coffee cup ” and espresso cup a surprisingly contemporary presence.
