Rosenthal
Heritage
Collection
BY
GIANNI CINTI
Designer Gianni Cinti translates the history and traditions of Rosenthal with the Heritage Collection into the here and now. The decors he designs are an eclectic interplay of shapes, colours and patterns from different eras and cultures, interwoven with personal memories.
“In the 140-year history of Rosenthal, various forms of visual expression overlap,” says Gianni Cinti, who was surprised by the treasures he discovered in the Rosenthal Archive in Selb. The Italian designer worked with porcelain for the first time and is fascinated by the material. Because it is modern, versatile and one of the oldest materials of all.
Turandot
Midas
Dynasty
While the decors Midas, Turandot and Dynasty differ strikingly from each other, a visual bracket made of gold tones holds the collection together. All three designs have in common Cinti’s extremely imaginative handwriting and the abstracted borrowings from Rosenthal’s history. He sees the decors as “new classics” passed down from generation to generation. Each of the three decor themes is understood as a holistic concept and complemented by matching drinking glass series and linen napkins from Rosenthal as well as cutlery and accessories from Sambonet in unusual colours.
Midas
Everything turns to gold
The playful, baroque Rosenthal form Sanssouci forms the stage for the Midas decor, which is monochromatic in gold. While the fine lines on the handles of the coffee pot and sugar bowl are reminiscent of a classic gold rim, other collection items such as plates and espresso cups are completely immersed in gold.
Touch of Gold
These are joined by pieces with distinctive patterns of twigs and leaves, which are laid on top of each other in layers and alternate between matte and shiny surfaces. In this way, a very sensual interplay is created when combined with the porcelain relief.

The three-dimensional camouflage decor is named after the mythological king Midas, for whom Dionysus had fulfilled a wish: everything he touched turned to gold.
Midas Glass
Harmoniously rounded shapes and a refined interplay of smooth-transparent and matt-milky elements make the Midas glass collection so attractive. Three drinking goblets for water, wine and champagne are complemented by an artistic foot bowl and an elegant candlestick.
