A MEETING OF DESIGN TITANS: “EGG CHAIR” BY ARNE JACOBSEN AND “BERKER SERIE 1930 MADE BY ROSENTHAL”
IN THE “FEIERABENDHAUS” BY WALTER GROPIUS.
The “Berker Serie 1930 Porzellan made by Rosenthal” brings together two companies which, despite their entirely different histories, are nevertheless aston -i shingly similar in some ways. Both have for decades been pursuing an absolutely uncompromising product and design philosophy. Despite their size, both have remained true to manual craftsmanship, because there is a certain quality that can only be achieved by hand. And both Berker and Rosenthal have won numerous design awards over the years.

BERKER SERIE 1930 PORZELLAN MADE BY ROSENTHALIt was thus only a matter of time before the two companies would initiate a joint project, the “Berker Serie 1930 Porzellan made by Rosenthal”. The model for this classic rotary switch is the Bauhaus switch from the 1930s, which Berker had already reissued in 1999 in a plastic edition, and which can now be found, among other places, in the Dessau Bauhaus since it has been renovated true to its original state. The “Berker Serie 1930 Porzellan made by Rosenthal” stands for a genuine return to the roots of this classic design: The original from the Bauhaus era was also made of porcelain. So in a way, each of these porcelain gems also represents a tangible piece of design history.
A MODERN CLASSIC BERKER SERIE 1930 ALSO IN PLASTIC
Classic form, modern material: The “Berker Serie 1930” also cuts an extremely impressive figure in white or black plastic.
A WELL-ROUNDED CONCEPT BERKER GLASSERIE
From the stylistic point of view, Berker’s “Glasserie” is a true con-temporary of the “Berker Serie 1930”. They both provide a harmonious complement to either renovated older buildings or timelessly modern living concepts. Thanks to their transparent glass surfaces, they leave wallpapers, wall coverings, and structures almost entirely visible. A selection of rotary toggles is likewise available.
A COLLECTION OF CLASSICS
Whether you choose the “Berker Serie 1930” in plastic, in porcelain or the “Berker Glasserie”: With their timelessly elegant form, both stand for living and office concepts that endure while fashions come and go ...
* In order to integrate additional functions (e. g. socket outlets, rotary dimmers, etc.), the porcelain frame can be combined with any of the central inserts of the Berker Serie 1930 in plastic.
