• 1936 Form 1382 Gold Medal VIth Triennale Milan
• 1937 Form 1382 Gold Medal World Exhibition Paris

Hermann Gretsch created “good design for every day” for Arzberg. Its life force endures even today. Genuine and true. Always.

“We must demand that even crockery, coffee and tea pots are genuine, clean and essential in every detail.”

“We can no longer afford to bring products to the market which bring no joy to customers after even a short while because they are impractical, dated or simply not modern enough”

“Designing means finding the right form to meet life’s real needs.”

Dr. Hermann Gretsch was born in 1895. He studied architecture, passed his trade examinations and worked as a technical teacher and buildings inspector. During his time as artistic director with Arzberg, he designed the Form 1382.
