Cylinda Line teapot 1.25 liters

Form is defining, not just in the name.

Once Jacobsen’s designs were ready, a long journey began before the Cylinda Line was market-ready in 1967. Its design created a distinctive look with only the essentials. The logical construction of all the vessels from cylinders and hemispheres is astonishing. The same basic shapes are used for a wide variety of functions. This is reminiscent of Marianne Brandt, who had already created an entire tableware series based on the hemisphere at the Bauhaus in 1927.

Preparing the Cylinda Line for production initially presented problems. Stainless steel, which is extremely demanding to work with, deforms undesirably at the slightest tool inaccuracies. The manufacturer first had to develop machinery and welding techniques to realize the designs, which are technically challenging precisely because of their stereometric forms. (oem)
