Rhizom Porcelain Vase

Klatt Objects collectibles are characterised by the unmistakable design signature of their founder Detlef Klatt. This is particularly true of the Rhizom vase, which won the German Design Award and which the creator has expanded into an attractive series.

The Rhizom vase

Symbolising strength and new life. The botanical appearance of the rhizome inspired Detlef Klatt to create a vase with an unusual shape. In 2024, the handcrafted object was honoured with the German Design Award as "Winner" in the category - Excellent Product Design - Home Textiles and Home Accessories. The vase was designed back in 2019 and unveiled for the brand debut in 2020. It was ahead of its time. In 2024, Detlef Klatt developed two offshoots that continued the idea of the original design and further expanded the design freedom of the series.

The idea of the rhizome

In nature, plants such as bamboo, lily of the valley, ginger er, lotus or wasabi use their rhizomes as nutrient reservoirs and the source of new shoots. Detlef Klatt has translated this concept into a concise, organic shape, whose freely rising openings constantly allow for new flower arrangements. The balanced dimensions ensure that even delicate flowers, grasses and stems are held securely. At the same time, the sculptural character of the collector's item dissolves the link between design and function and makes it a unique eye-catcher regardless of its use as a vase.

High-quality fine bone china

The vase's high-quality bone china is produced in the traditional way by family-run manufacturers who use the ashes of bones from the food industry according to the original recipe. The artisanal and resource-conserving production process gives the pure white porcelain, for which the Klatt Objects brand is known, its unmistakable strength and clarity.
