From 1932 the ceramic manufacturing company Villeroy & Boch employed him in the design of dinnerware services. However in 1940 he wrote Gestaltendes Handwerk (Creative Handicrafts) which despite its publication in the context of German crafts in the Third Reich very much reflected a Werkbund credo of clean undecorated forms as compatible with modern technological modes of mass manufacture as with hand production. Coinciding with the birth of the Federal Republic this formal restrained pattern was introduced as the first Pott sterling silver flatware of the post-war era. It was received to great acclaim and was also produced in silver plated version. Due to its simple elegance it rapidly became a classic whose popularity remains unchallenged. Since 1998 it is also being produced in stainless steel.
