Post Scriptum Curved Vase By Formafantasma In Black And White

Conceived by research-based design studio Formafantasma for Cassina, the 'Post Scriptum' collection brings together a series of hand-painted porcelain objects. Inspired by silhouettes found in the extensive Ginori Manufactory archives, the designers have applied a contemporary facelift to a family of familiar shapes in the form of graphic 'graffito' decorations. This is achieved through hand drawing each graffito pattern onto bisque porcelain with ceramic chalk crayons and firing the surface to set the pattern. On this wide curved vase, the grafitto takes shape as a series of black linear strokes against a white background for a sporadic but consistent decoration that fades towards the base.
