Decors from the Rosenthal archives were selected and newly interpreted by the computer to create “Pixo”. By doing so, “Pixo” transformed traditional decors of the past to a modern imagery. The dissolving colored areas accentuate the distinctive shape of the collection “Format” and emphasize the architectural language. Different shades of gray are in harmony with a dark blue and a radiant turquoise. “Pixo’s” radiance is accomplished by accents in gold and platinum.
Christophe de la Fontaine was born in Luxembourg in 1976 and studied sculpture at the city’s Lycée des Arts et Métiers.
Between 1996 and 2002 he then studied industrial design under Richard Sapper at the State Academy of Art and Design in Stuttgart. After spells in London, Milan and Munich, he headed the design department of the Patricia Urquiola studio between 2003 and 2009.
In parallel with this position, he continued to pursue his freelance work, taking part in numerous art and design shows. In 2010, he opened his own design studio in Milan.

With this décor the colours are melted into the glaze at 1000 degrees C. Here the glaze softens and the décor sinks into it, thus making colour and luminosity indestructible. It is scratch- and wear-resistant. However, gold decors are not totally scratch resistant by virtue of their natural material properties. This décor was tested by the Rosenthal Institute for material technology (IWT). It is dishwasher safe.
