The intersection of sculpted volumes, born from the Japanese designer’s hand, gives shape to a stylised portion of a column evocative of an Ionic capital; its vibrant pop aesthetic is further accentuated by the glazed finish. The essential design conceals an extremely complex artisan handcrafted process. The Cassina logo and Made in Italy wording are indicated on the bottom of the piece. Available in one size only, Cnosso is presented in two colours: chalk white and iridescent black, that pay tribute to the model’s original finish, obtained through a special firing process. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
