Rosenthal studio-line »TAC 02 Weiß«
The TAC collection from Rosenthal, created in 1969, is one of the most successful porcelain series in the world. TAC was designed by Walter Gropius, the spiritual father and director of the legendary Bauhaus. TAC stands for The Architects Collaborative - the name of Walter Gropius ‘Boston office. The reduced design language, the use of a simple hemispherical shape for the jug and cup and the play with geometric shapes such as triangles and squares are characteristic of designs that follow the Bauhaus philosophy. The design principles from this era have produced forms that are just as relevant today as they were when they were created.
Walter Gropius was born in Berlin in 1883 and died in Boston in 1969. Gropius was a co-founder of the Deutscher Werkbund and the Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau. This visionary architect had a decisive influence on the creative work of the 20th century. Quote Walter Gropius: »Only perfect harmony in the technical purpose-function as well as in the proportions of the forms can produce beauty. And that's what makes our job so varied and complicated.«
