Staging of the functional – the artist Reiner Xaver Sedelmeier at the KPM Hotel
The KPM Hotel’s “Mandorla Project” with the Stuttgart artist Reiner Xaver Sedelmeier creates a special hotel experience from the synergy of luxury and functionality. From October 2024, the hotel suite designed by R.X. Sedelmeier can be booked for one year. Making the inconspicuous shine in a new context – the artistic approach of the internationally exhibiting artist Reiner Xaver Sedelmeier, born in Illertissen in 1959, to seemingly simple, readily available materials proves to be particularly harmonious in his collaboration with the KPM Hotel. Even the mugs, vases and plates designed with the so-called Mandorla motif, which R.X. Sedelmeier created for KPM Berlin in collaboration with KPM’s head designer Thomas Wenzel, are instantly recognisable. The almond-shaped mandorla design, originally used in sacred art, is ubiquitous in everyday life as a so-called “chequer plate”. Everyone knows it: the staggered, almond-shaped bumps minimise the risk of slipping. The transfer of the pattern into the finest KPM porcelain ennobles the ingenious, supposedly simple form and at the same time enhances the functionality of the fine porcelain pieces in an original way.
The exclusive, spacious suites of the KPM Hotel with their individual interior design prove to be the perfect stage for Reiner Xaver Sedelmeier’s art objects. Whether the table with Mandorla plate, the Mandorla triptych on a wall in the living area of the suite or the Mandorla drawn on handmade paper in the bedroom – the décor sets exciting accents and emphasises the cosy overall impression of the suite with its modernity. In the luxurious bathroom, on the other hand, the synergy effect of elegance and functionality is particularly evident. Here, the floor of the spacious shower is clad in Mandorla steel. A smart idea – and a chic eye-catcher. Carafes and mugs from the KPM Mandorla collection are also placed on the shelves in the suite and can be used, allowing the Mandorla decor to be experienced visually and haptically. The Mandorla Suite at the KPM Hotel & Residences can be booked for one year. Our reception will be happy to provide you with further details and booking modalities. Depending on the booking status, we are happy to present the Mandorla Suite designed by Reiner Xaver Sedelmeier as part of a hotel tour.
Words In Motion: Homage to handwriting with Jeannine Platz, artist and calligrapher

In collaboration with the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin, the highly acclaimed artist developed her own calligraphy series. The resulting porcelain artworks, for whose calligraphic design Jeannine Platz developed her own technique, are among the highlights of the exhibition.

DISCOVERPERMANENT EXHIBITION: SCULPTURES BY MICHAEL FELIX LANGER
As soon as you enter the lobby, you can feel that the KPM Hotel & Residences and the Königliche Porzellan- Manufaktur Berlin are united by the same demand for special aesthetics, the highest level of quality and their own design signature. Individuality paired with an inner bond – the architectural firm Axthelm Rolvien, which was also responsible for the interior design, wanted to see precisely this characteristic realized in the works of art for the lobby, the restaurant and the rooms of the KPM Hotel & Residences. In the artistically outstanding objects by the renowned Berlin sculptor Michael F. Langer, the architects found the harmonious interplay of modern design and the classical concept of art realized in a congenial manner. Years ago, Michael Felix Langer integrated porcelain objects from KPM Berlin into individual design sketches. A beautiful coincidence that seems to anticipate the fruitful collaboration of the KPM Hotel & Residences and Michael F. Langer.
