NEW YORK–Rosenthal and Donna Karan International are collaborating on a new tabletop and giftware line that will debut in late 2009.
The line will include product for both the Donna Karan Collection and pureDKNY brands, and will encompass casual and formal dinnerware, stemware, giftware and flatware.
Lou Scala, president of Rosenthal USA and chief marketing officer of Waterford Wedgwood, Rosenthal’s parent, called the partnership “the perfect collaboration combining Rosenthal’s history and design aesthetics with the timeless style that Donna Karan embodies.”
Cathy Volker, executive vice president of global licensing for Donna Karan International, said, “Rosenthal’s design and quality traditions align perfectly with Donna Karan’s creative sensibilities, and we are confident that this new range will be the perfect complement to Donna Karan’s existing line of home decor, which includes bedding and bath designs.”
