Biography
Boehm joined Rosenthal in 1966. His limited-edition Reticelli range illustrated his interest in Italian glass by incorporating cotton twist threads in the molten glass-like 17th-century Venetian vessels.

Boehm collaborated with Claus Josef Riedel to create the Calyx range, whose faint mould lines became a design feature.
