Circle Container with Lid - Black, Porcelain

The container features hand-painted graffito decorations with black paint stroke-like flecks across its flat circular surface. Its bisque porcelain construction provides durability, while the ceramic chalk crayon patterns are fired to set permanently. The sporadic but consistent decoration covers the entire exterior and lid, and the hand-drawn technique adds unique character to each piece.

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 flat and circular container, the grafitto pattern takes shape as a series of black paint stroke-like flecks for a sporadic but consistent decoration that covers the entire exterior and lid.
