Lotte Schloer is a 1993 born German porcelain designer from Munich. She started workling with porcelain during her apprenticeship at the reknown porcelain manufactury Nymphenburg in Munich, Bavaria. Here, she was trained as a professional porcelain painter for ancient and contemporary decors.
After three years of intensive training, she started studying industrial design with focus on ceramics and glass at Burg Giebichenstein University of Arts and Design, Halle, Germany.
Pursuing her passion for porcelain, the "White Gold", she enhanced her previous 2D painting and glancing skills with modeling, conceptualizing, and selling complex 3D-forms.
Her work is influenced by frequent international exchange (trips to Russia, Austria, France, etc.) as well as an international semester at Saga University, Arita, Japan.
Inspired by the local history and differences in society, Lotte Schlör seeks to find functional enhancements to the traditional use of porcelain as dishes, vases, and interior design elements.
Passionate about porcelain, she is always looking for contemporary approaches
to one of the most fascinating materials in industrial design.

FITTED SPACE
Multifunctional and space saving porcelain bowls for small flats, houses, and kitchen.
Tokyo is the largest metropolitan area in the world. More than 38 million people live on limited space and experience the necessity for saving space daily. Japan has created a culture of multifunctionality and space efficiency.
FITTED SPACE was first inspired by traditional Japanese “Futamono”, a bowl with lid used for soups and rice dishes. The “Futamono” is redesigned by cutting of two parallel sides of the bowl. With that intervention, FITTED SPACE loses its space inefficient round shape and can now be better stored in small flats, houses, and kitchen. Cutting of the side, reduces the filling capacity only a little but increases its storage ability when putting them closer together on the shelf, table, or in the fridge.
Futhermore, the Lid can be used as a plate, and the bowl can cover the plate. With thoes functions FITTED SPACE is not only useful for the table or to serve dishes but also to store food. Every person can find its individual use for fitted space.
