Low Spherical Container - White, Porcelain

The container features hand-painted graffito decorations with black paint stroke-like flecks across its white porcelain surface. Each pattern is drawn onto bisque porcelain with ceramic chalk crayons and fired to set the design. The sporadic yet consistent decoration covers the exterior and gradually fades towards the base, while the spherical form provides ample storage space.

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 low spherical container, the grafitto takes shape as a series of black paint stroke-like flecks for a sporadic but consistent decoration that covers the exterior and fades towards the base.
