Post Scriptum Cachepot Vase
Made by Cassina
Designed by Formafantasma
Post Scriptum is a meditation on memory and form. Conceived by Formafantasma for Cassina, this cachepot vase draws its quietly resonant silhouette from ancient vessels - objects that once held both substance and significance.
Cast in glossy glazed ceramic, the rounded, restrained profile balances weight with lightness. Its surface catches and softens light, lending the piece an almost geological presence. The finish is precise without being cold, refined without being ornamental.
Formafantasma, the Amsterdam-based studio of Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin, approaches design as a cultural and material inquiry. Their work consistently moves between anthropology, craft history, and contemporary production. Post Scriptum reflects that sensibility: an object that functions as both cachepot and sculptural form, belonging equally to the domestic interior and the archive of design culture.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Post Scriptum vase made of?
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.
Who are Formafantasma?
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.
What is a cachepot and how does Post Scriptum function as one?
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.
What design references inform the Post Scriptum piece?
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.
How does Post Scriptum relate to Cassina's broader design philosophy?
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.
