Post Scriptum Cachepot Vaso

The Post Scriptum cachepot vase is constructed from glazed ceramic, finished with a glossy surface that reflects light with a quiet, geological depth. The material and firing process give it a precise yet approachable tactile quality.

Formafantasma is the Amsterdam-based studio founded by Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin. Their practice operates at the intersection of design, material research, and cultural inquiry, with work held in major museum collections internationally.

A cachepot is a decorative outer container designed to conceal a plain plant pot. The Post Scriptum piece fulfills this function while also standing independently as a sculptural object, its archaic silhouette giving it presence with or without planting.

The piece draws from the formal language of ancient vessels, particularly objects from early Mediterranean and pre-industrial cultures whose rounded profiles carried both utilitarian and ceremonial weight. Formafantasma treats these references as a starting point for contemporary material exploration.

Cassina has long collaborated with architects and designers whose work operates at the boundary of art and function. The Post Scriptum cachepot extends that commitment, bringing Formafantasma's research-driven approach into the domestic object category.
