On Hans Theo Baumann From the Design Museum in Munich - His output has made it into the history books. Once described as “a true master of German design”, he 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. In 1959 Hans Theo Baumann (b. 1924 in Basel, Switzerland) was one of the co-founders of the Association of German Industrial Designers (VDID). Not only did he work with the top companies of Germany’s porcelain industry, he also joined forces with the architect Egon Eiermann, whose buildings epitomize the young German Federal Republic. Baumann joined Philipp Rosenthal at an early stage and spent some time working in India and Japan. For more than half a century, his often prize-winning and widely exhibited designs were a decisive influence on the German design scene. Clear-cut, timeless shapes, high functionality and a holistic approach typify his richly diversified output. 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.
