Martin Hirth

One of Martin Hirth's most outstanding works is his Node vase, which was created in collaboration with Rosenthal. This unique design piece is far more than just a part of the Rosenthal vase range - it is a sculptural homage to craftsmanship and porcelain as a material.

Concept and design of the KNOTTED VASE: minimalism and expressiveness

The Node vase, also known as the KNOTTED VASE, oscillates between minimalism and maximalism. At first glance, the vase shape appears to be the simplest form of a knot, but a closer look reveals its impressive complexity. The knot - a fleeting, dynamic movement - is frozen in porcelain and thus becomes a permanent, three-dimensional sculpture.

The Rosenthal Node vase appears different from every angle and plays with symmetry and asymmetry. Its voluminous shape originates from a simple cylindrical base element that has been transformed into a well-formed knot.

The KNOTTED VASE NODE was very well received by design critics and collectors alike. It impressively demonstrates how Rosenthal can combine traditional materials and craftsmanship with contemporary design.

Thanks to the variety of surface and color finishes, the Node vase collection can be used in many different ways - from minimalist decoration to impressive color accents. Each vase is manufactured with the utmost precision in Rosenthal's manufactory, reflecting the quality and attention to detail of the Rosenthal brand. The Node collection by Martin Hirth is a prime example of how Rosenthal supports contemporary designers and translates their visions into porcelain.
