ÉDITION QUARTOLET
The collaboration between KPM Berlin and Gisbert Pöppler kicks off with the “ ÉDITION ” QUARTOLET. 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, giving the classic’s clean lines a fresh new look. 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 surprisingly in 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.
Aviator Cup
For his third collaboration with KPM Berlin, Gisbert Pöppler applies the color concept of the “ ÉDITION ” QUARTOLET to the “ aviator cup ” from Marguerite Friedlaender-Wildenhain. This New Objectivity classic, designed in 1930, 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.
