Post Scriptum Elliptical Vase
Made by Cassina
Designed by Formafantasma
The Post Scriptum collection represents Formafantasma's first foray into the domestic object for Cassina, conceived as a meditation on the vessel as cultural artifact. The elliptical vase draws from ancient ceramic typologies, reinterpreting their proportions through a rigorous contemporary lens.
Its surface is defined by a black mesh glaze, a technique that introduces depth and tactile complexity to the ceramic body. Light plays across the texture differently at every angle, lending the piece a quiet dynamism that rewards close observation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Post Scriptum collection by Formafantasma?
Post Scriptum is Formafantasma's first collection of domestic objects for Cassina, exploring the vessel as a cultural and historical artifact. The pieces draw on ancient ceramic typologies, reinterpreted through a contemporary formal language.
Who are Formafantasma?
Formafantasma is the Amsterdam-based studio founded by Italian designers Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin. Their practice is grounded in research, examining the cultural, ecological, and industrial systems behind objects and materials.
What is the black mesh glaze technique on the vase?
The black mesh glaze is a ceramic surface treatment that creates a grid-like texture on the body of the vase. It adds tactile complexity and causes light to interact with the surface differently depending on the angle of observation.
Can the Post Scriptum Elliptical Vase hold water and flowers?
The piece is conceived as both a functional vase and a sculptural object, meaning it is designed to operate in either capacity. For specific use guidance, it is best to consult the product specifications or a design professional.
How does Formafantasma's work relate to historical craft traditions?
Formafantasma consistently interrogates the relationship between contemporary design and historical making practices. In Post Scriptum, ancient ceramic vessel forms serve as both formal reference and cultural starting point, filtered through the studio's characteristic analytical precision.
