URBINO 1931 ➔

Trude Petri designed the URBINO collection in 1931. Its clarity and aesthetics, created by consistent omission, are based on the most balanced of all shapes: the circle. Inspiration also came from the Northern Italian Renaissance and the Italian city of Urbino, which also gave the collection its name. The thin walls of the pieces convey a graceful lightness that supports everyday enjoyment. The so-called coupe plates, whose surface flows uninterrupted right up to the rim, were an absolute novelty and a milestone of their time. URBINO 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, it is a model of timeless porcelain design and a permanent exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) in New York.
