The vase combines contemporary design with traditional craftsmanship through its hand-painted graffito decorations. Its wide curved silhouette provides generous display space, while the tightly packed black strokes create the appearance of a totally black exterior surface. The bisque porcelain construction ensures lasting quality, and the ceramic chalk crayon technique adds artistic depth.
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 very tightly packed strokes that together give the appearance of a totally black exterior surface.
