In Trude Petri, Günther Freiherr v. Pechmann, who was KPM director at the time and a former board member of the German Work Federation (Werkbund), found a designer who was able to consistently implement the principles of the New Objectivity movement. In 1931, Petri designed the URBINO dinner service, which was based on the basic forms of the circle and sphere and modelled on the rimless ceramic pieces of the northern Italian Renaissance. The form of the URBINO dinner service captivates through its timeless design, and it is represented in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, as well as in the Louvre (Museé des arts decoratifs) in Paris.
