On a rainy Midsummer’s Eve in the late 1940s, designer Marianne Westman sat sketching a white flower, a Labrador tea blossom. The sketch became, after she completed her degree at Konstfack, the starting point of an extraordinary design career. When the collection was launched in 1952, it had been named Mon Amie and the flowers had received their cobalt-blue color. As a tribute to Marianne Westman’s 80th birthday in 2008, the collection was relaunched with updated shapes. Mon Amie is the prime example of what we ourselves usually call a Rörstrand classic.
