Cassina revisits the Cnosso planter box designed by Kazuhide Takahama and produced by Simongavina in the 1980s, reimagining it as a vase. The shape, accentuated by the glazed finish, is reminiscent of an Ionic capital, stylised by a pop aesthetic.
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.

2026
Originally produced as a planter box by the Simongavina company, Cnosso is now introduced as a ceramic vase with a distinctly expressive presence.
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.
