ABOUT PRODUCTID 14928
The Rotunda coffee service by Tapio Wirkkala for Thomas-Rosenthal, produced in Germany in the 1970s, embodies the enduring qualities of mid-century modern design. Intended for six people, the set is crafted from fine glazed white porcelain with a distinguished, high-gloss finish. Each piece—ranging from flared, open-cupped coffee cups to minimalist saucers and plates—is adorned with a wide band in shades of pink, transitioning from fuchsia to magenta, featuring an Op-Art-inspired motif of interlocking circles. This decorative band follows the rim, leaving the center surfaces an immaculate white and accentuating the crisp geometry. Handles and spouts are slender, thoughtfully shaped for comfort. The lids of the pot and sugar bowl are topped with solid pink circles, echoing the era’s aesthetic intentions. Construction throughout is precise, with seamless joins and crisp profiles. The set has been preserved in excellent, pristine condition—free from chips, cracks, discoloration, or signs of use, with original hues and porcelain gloss intact.
This service expresses the boldness of the 1970s, when color and geometric pattern easily became part of daily rituals. The combination of vibrant pink motifs on white porcelain evokes the energy of Op Art—a movement devoted to introducing rhythmic dynamism into flat surfaces. Here, each cup seems to narrate the story of convivial gatherings and a spirit of optimism so characteristic of European design
