Bernardaud Dune Rectangular Cake Platter, 14

The very intricate design found on this pattern is directly inspired by the decorative motifs of the Rensaissance. This is evident on the metalwork and flatware pieces with engraved handles that were produced during that period in Toledo, Spain. This inspiration is picked up again in the plant-related theme of the design: leaves, vines and flowers interweave and form volutes, a characteristic ornamental motif of that period, created by spiraling scrolls and whorls.

This classic design from Rosenthal now features a new series of graphics which follow the contours of each item, thus emphasizing its shape. The designs take on the theme of structure by playing with the contrast between matte and glossy surfaces. That is an idea that Walter Gropius himself pursued in his first design.

Whether elegant or casual, sophisticated or modern, Juliska Berry & Thread dinnerware suits any table.
