Walter Gropius (1883-1969) founded the State Bauhaus in Weimar as a place for experimenting with integrated designs, so creating the foundations of modern architecture and design.
In 1963, many years after the Bauhaus was closed, he received an enquiry from Philip Rosenthal, son of the company founder and visionary chairman of the board: the commission to build the new Rosenthal production site at Rothbühl for the world-famous porcelain manufacturer in Selb. Not only did this project turn into a revolutionary and modern industrial building reflecting Bauhaus and, with TAC, one of the most successful porcelain series in the world, but also a deep friendship between two humanists who have changed our way of thinking and acting.
That co-operation with Walter Gropius is not only a milestone and a special treasure in the company’s history but also a significant part of Bavaria’s architecture and design history. Until this day, the Rosenthal porcelain factory at Rotbühl has been a sophisticated manufacturing site for Rosenthal porcelain in which craftsmanship, art and highly modern technology are united, following the Bauhaus ideas.

Using his experience with the processes in a modern porcelain factory, in 1969, Walter Gropius and his Boston office (The Architects Collaborative) developed the TAC range which, still to this day, is one of the most successful porcelain series in the world, embodying the Bauhaus tradition with its design.
On the occasion of the Bauhaus anniversary, you will now receive the nine most popular TAC articles as a 4 + 2 offer:

one hundred.
Preferably with things inspired by Bauhaus that can be used and enjoyed well beyond the anniversary year – like a tea set! Rosenthal successfully searched its archive and found an original motif by Walter Gropius which the architect designed at the end of the 60s for the TAC tea set with his Boston office "The Architects Collaborative" – a true and beautiful discovery.
This design icon is now being launched as a limited edition with the stripes motif. The tea set, also designed by Gropius, with its distinctive geometric shapes, is made of porcelain that has been dyed black throughout, while the fine powder platinum lines create a charming contrast to the dark surface.
Available from mid-March.
The anniversary edition will be complemented with the »Stripes 2.0« motif, an abstract reference to the original:
The decor is reminiscent of the Rosenthal Rothbühl site’s colours inspired by Bauhaus, taking up its façade elements made of exposed concrete in some items. Happy birthday, Bauhaus!
