Squall

Description

Fascinated by materials’ plasticity and limits of deformability, French designer Cédric Ragot designed a new vase series for Rosenthal. Squall picks up on the idea behind Ragot’s already highly successful Fast vase, which he created back in 2007, to capture and freeze the entire dynamics of a movement. Squall is reminiscent of a whirlwind or vortex, whose elemental force is cast and immortalised in porcelain.

Statement of the jury

The sculptural, indeed poetic design of the vase captures the dynamic power of the elements like a snapshot in porcelain.
