The extensive product range is complemented by the lifestyle collection “Rosenthal meets Versace” with its luxurious porcelain services and exclusive gift ideas. TRADITION IN DESIGN Over 135 years an extraordinary, richly diverse company has grown in the town of Selb/Upper Franconia, that today is one of the leading suppliers worldwide for contemporary, innovative design for the tabletop, home interiors and gift areas and a range of brands with an international appeal. The company was shaped largely by the two entrepreneurial personalities – privy councillor Philipp Rosenthal and his son Philip Rosenthal – until well into the 1970’s. The company is influenced today by the exceptionally close work with leading artists and designers from across the globe. A unique corporate culture has developed upon these foundations – shaped by design and the encounter with art and culture – stretching from product development to brand image and architecture to the corporate CI and the promotion of cultural projects. "Consumer articles and objects of art have only maintained their cultural and material value over the centuries if they were designed as contemporary objects of their era – but never as imitations. We therefore only work with artists and designers who may well represent differing directions, but have all dedicated themselves to designing contemporary originals of our times." Philip Rosenthal, 1962
