ABOUT PRODUCTID 6244
The 'City Modern' set, designed by Lutz Rabold for Arzberg in Germany during the 1980s, comprises six cups with matching saucers and a teapot—all signed and crafted from high-quality white porcelain. The defining feature is a pure, cool white tone with a glossy, mirror-like finish, free from any patterns or additional colors. The vessels present softly rounded forms and a geometric simplicity, accentuated by angular yet ergonomic handles. Surfaces are flawlessly smooth and undecorated, while the proportions maintain a cohesive, modernist balance typical of German design from this era. The construction showcases the precision associated with Arzberg porcelain: seamless joints, refined details, and a harmonious arrangement of forms. The set is preserved in excellent condition, showing no signs of use, damage, or restoration. This collection echoes the rational yet daring spirit of the 1980s, an era when German design explored minimalism and sought purity of form. 'City Modern' tells the story of a time when less truly meant more: each sip of coffee was meant to be savored in surroundings stripped of excess, with white porcelain serving as a quiet canvas for daily rituals. The subtly contoured handles and gentle silhouettes evoke the interplay between comfort and modernity, while the undecorated surface invites light to reflect softly, lending the porcelain an almost architectural presence. The set can be incorporated into strictly minimalist interiors as well as more eclectic, collector-oriented spaces. It would suit a simple wooden table or a contemporary stone countertop, paired with geometric vases, glass trays, or discreet metal accents. Consider combining it with neutral textiles and unadorned ceramics to emphasize the clarity of the composition. Whether in a living room or dining area, the set offers a subtle point of reference, harmoniously complementing both contemporary and vintage arrangements.
