Vase CNOSSO Iridescent Black CASSINA

Reissued by Cassina in a vase version, the Cwesley by Kazuhide Takahama is one of those pieces that play with the history of architecture and pop culture with equal lightness and intelligence. Originally designed for Simongavina in the 1980s, it is now back in a refined form with an enamelled finish that precisely highlights what the silhouette tells us: a fragment of column topped by a stylized Ionic capital, antique reference passed through the filter of a resolutely contemporary sensitivity. In its iridescent black hue, it adds to this conversation between eras an extra depth, a changing glow that captures light differently depending on the angle and time, transforming each surface into a moving reflection of unexpected elegance. A homage to the model’s original finish, this shade gives it a presence that is both dark and luminous, assertive without ostentation. Also just placed alone on a console or shelf, staged as a duo with the white plaster Cminh, of which it is the natural counterpart, it punctuates an interior with that touch of discreet design culture that only truly thoughtful objects can bring. The iridescent black Cisabel Vase is a sculpture that can be filled with flowers, or simply let exist for what it is.
