About the Designer

Hans Martin Freyer (1909-1975) was a German painter and designer. He was born in Hanover, Germany and studied at the Darmstadt University of Technology. In 1933, he spent time in the Balkans, Italy, France and Switzerland. After returning to Germany, he studied at the University of Fine Arts, Berlin and the Reimann School.  For the next four decades Freyer enjoyed a diverse career that included work both in the United States and in Germany as a landscape architect, as well as a designer of interiors, theatrical sets, logos (including the VW logo) and industrial products.

From 1964 to 1974, he engaged in a highly productive partnership with Rosenthal Porcelain, developing relief decorations for glass and porcelain vases for its Studio Line. His most recognized design is for the Pleated Vase which was produced in both white and black onion form. The pleated vases were part of larger series of structures whose surface texture was the main focus, thus eliminating the need for color.
