Country of first appearanceCH

Description«I have always admired Wilhelm Wagenfeld’s designs for their focus on creating an industrially produced everyday beauty that all could enjoy. If design has any true goal then it has to be that one. This poster shows a rather large cooking pot, probably for serving rather than cooking as the lid detail would have allowed water to run down the sides. I imagine a large white porcelain pot full of steaming potatoes! The poster itself is a communication designed to attract professionals rather than general public and is certainly on the dry side but nevertheless it exposes the thinking behind the subject as well as
the originality of Wagenfeld’s design language.»
