MANDORLA
The Stuttgart-based artist Reiner Xaver Sedelmeier became known for his couches made of corrugated iron, chairs without seats and a gold dustbin. With the limited KPM+ Edition, the artist has once again taken the utilitarian aspect out of the MANDORLA design and refined the everyday object vase into a work of art with geometric gold applications. "It is my passion to recharge and reinterpret objects, materials and items by stripping them of their intrinsic value.

The Stuttgart artist Reiner Xaver Sedelmeier inspired KPM head designer Thomas Wenzel to create a collaboration in which everyday design meets high-quality porcelain. The decor was inspired by industrial protective plates. The result was a jug, cup and vases made of biscuit porcelain in cylindrical form, which were given the typical elliptical shapes of metal. The industrial derivation inspired KPM head designer Thomas Wenzel and defined the shape: "Tear plate is normally rolled, so the starting point was quickly to take the cylinder or, in other words, the tube as the shape."

"It is my passion to charge and reinterpret objects, materials and items by removing them from their actual purpose, i.e. freeing them from their actual functionality. In this edition, I am particularly fascinated by the contrast between the protective aspect of the sheet steel and the fragility of the porcelain."
The vase is limited to 25 pieces.
