Carl Pott
Germany
The true design legacy of Pott flatware began in 1932, when Carl Pott joined his father's (Carl Hugo Pott) workshop and immediately established his reputation as a brilliant, uncompromising flatware designer. Rejecting the decorative flourishes of his era, Pott stripped cutlery down to a functionalist ideal, treating design as meticulous, surgical calculation. This commitment quickly earned him recognition on a grand scale: in the 1950s, Pott flatware was chosen for the initial flatware of Deutsche Lufthansa passenger machines, and his Pott 22 pattern (designed 1955) achieved global icon status as the official flatware for the 1972 Olympic Village in Munich. Carl Pott's work is celebrated as a high-water mark of modern and mid-century functionalism, proving that true simplicity possesses lasting, official weight.
