RITZENHOFF Designer Collection – Ian David Marsden
Between 2013 and 2018, I had the pleasure of contributing nine exclusive designs to the RITZENHOFF Designer Collection. As part of the official RITZENHOFF Designer Family, I blended illustration, humor, and product design to create collectible glassware and ceramics that brought personality to everyday rituals. Although some of these products are now discontinued, this page serves as a visual archive of my contributions to this iconic German brand.
Founded in 1992, RITZENHOFF is renowned worldwide for transforming everyday items into coveted gifts and collectibles. Over 50 million designer pieces have been sold, making it a cornerstone of German design culture.
