A collection of modern white KPM porcelain on a gray surface.

URBINO
1931

In 1931, Trude Petri designed the collection URBINO. 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.

CORSO

URBINO Corso is a further development of a decoration 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. Following the aesthetic premises of her time, her work followed the combination of 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.
