URBINO
1931

In 1931, Trude Petri designed the URBINO collection. Its clarity and aesthetics, created through consistent omission, are based on the most balanced of all shapes: the circle. The Northern Italian Renaissance and the Italian city of Urbino, which also gave the collection its name, also provided inspiration. The thin walls of the pieces convey a graceful lightness that supports everyday enjoyment. The so-called coupe plates, whose surface flows uninterruptedly to the rim, were an absolute novelty and a milestone of their time. URBINO has received numerous awards, such as the gold medal at the VI. Triennale in Milan and the Grand Prix at the Paris World Exhibition in 1937. Today, as a model of timeless porcelain design, it is a permanent exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) in New York.

URBINO Corso is a further development of a decor from the 1950s. KPM Berlin is now launching a contemporary adaptation - a color gradient that flows from the center outwards and is implemented in inglaze color. This makes the decor particularly durable, scratch-resistant and dishwasher-safe.

Trude Petri worked as a designer for the Berlin Porcelain Manufactory from 1929. In keeping with the aesthetic principles of her time, her work focused on combining form and function. Fascinated by the perfection of this combination, she developed the URBINO collection in 1931, which is still considered a flawless example of perfect design today.
