Once described as “a true master of German design”, Hans-Theo Baumann was among the protagonists who shaped the essence of “Made in Germany” and “Die Gute Form” in the wake of World War II – advocating a timeless and aesthetic design idiom.

Baumann’s successful products include dinner service and porcelain objects, tea and coffee pots, cups and plates, candle holders and vases. Philipp Rosenthal helped him launch his career as a porcelain designer as early as 1954. In addition to Rosenthal and Thomas, he counted Arzberg, Schönwald, Hutschenreuther and KPM Berlin among his clients, as well as other companies in Germany and abroad.

Thanks to Hans Theo Baumann’s generosity and assistance, Die Neue Sammlung was able to secure a representative spread of his output as a donation. A concise selection of these will now be on show for the first time.
