BERLIN
1996
The BERLIN collection succeeds in what only the city that gives its name to this unconventional design can do: to create something beautiful from the symbiosis of contradictions. It combines the combination of tradition and innovation, classic form and new accents. The convex-concave interplay of the plate flags and the reproduction of the perfect spherical shape in the jug and lid handle in contrast to the characteristic, inverted handle prove the compatibility of opposites, as its designer, the Italian Enzo Mari, once did. Developed in 1996 by Mari in collaboration with the designers at KPM Berlin, the series is characterized by its functional character, which earned it the “iF Design Award”. Gone are the days of firmly defined shapes and standards on the table and table - the collection offers as much creative scope as its namesake, the city of Berlin.
