An architectural porcelain collection for Meissen built around the historical Berlin Handle. A defining element of Meissen's early work, here redeployed as a load-bearing structural form rather than a decorative one. Handles become columns; construction becomes ornament; each piece presents itself as a small, precisely composed building. Gold detailing traces the structural logic of each object, emerging from the geometry rather than applied over it. Conceived alongside the organic Phoenix collection, Edifice marks the opening chapter of a long-term creative partnership between Bodo Sperlein and Meissen. Produced in fine Meissen porcelain, world premiere Milan Design Week 2026.

Bodo Sperlein's first collaboration with Meissen, founded 1710. One of the world's most storied porcelain manufacturers. Edifice and Phoenix were developed in parallel as two formally contrasting responses to Meissen's craft tradition.

Contributed to concept development. Exploring how Meissen's existing component vocabulary, particularly the historical Berlin Handle, could be recombined into new structural configurations, and developing compositional studies in dialogue with the Creative Director's design direction.
