Turandot
East meets west
Inspired by the opera of the same name by Giacomo Puccini, the Turandot decor is an homage to the 18th century chinoiseries, which already played an important role in the Rosenthal designs of the late 19th century. Gianni Cinti tells us that he had the idea for the complex decoration when he remembered a visit to the shore of West Lake in Hangzhou, China.
