TAAC PUMPKIN
Designed by Davide Oldani, 2023
Taac, by Davide Oldani, creator of POP Cuisine and student of renowned chef Gualtiero Marchesi, is a metaphoric reinterpretation of the significance of the seasons at table that is expressed through objects inspired by nature and the flavours that enrich our daily life.
DESIGNER
DAVIDE OLDANI
Davide Oldani, inventor of POP Cuisine - high quality, priced reasonably - opened his restaurant D’O in 2003 in Cornaredo, outside Milan, his home town.
After just a year in business, the most authoritative culinary guides included him among the great chefs of Italian cuisine.
He has received many accolades, including a Michelin star in 2004, the City of Milan’s Ambrogino d’oro in 2008 and, in 2013, he was invited to speak at Harvard about his experience as an entrepreneur following publication of a case history about his restaurant in the Harvard Business Review. In May of 2014, the Davide Oldani Cafè opened in the new Luxury Square shopping area at Milan’s Malpensa airport.
He has published several books, including Cuoco andata e ritorno (2008), Le D’Onne lo sanno (2018), Mangia come parli (Luglio 2020), and POP Food (2021) Feltrinelli paperback edition.
In 2016 he opened his new D’O, an evolved version of its predecessor in order to create a “bigger” cuisine, able to hold its own against other cuisines in Italy and abroad.
In November 2020, the Michelin Guide awarded him a second star for the year 2021 and the Michelin Green star, symbol of sustainability.
His activity as a designer, an offshoot of his skill as an attentive observer, reflects that of the chef himself: tables, chairs, dishes, flatware and glasses, inspired by POP: simple, functional, elegant.

POP DESIGNS FOR THE TABLE
Taac Pumpkin is part of the collection of glazed ceramic containers that marks Cassina's first collaboration with chef Davide Oldani.
DETAIL
The collection comprises four enamelled ceramic containers in the shape of a squash, onion, asparagus and rooster, available in three colours: chalk, grey or cobalt blue. These four elements elevate, through sensory appeal, the significance of the ingredient itself. Each piece in the collection, made up of a container whose lid - a cloche - reveals the recipe with the flavours of the table - is symbolic of a season and inspires its use. The objects are functional and decorative.

PRODUCT CARE AND MAINTENANCE
- Care : To remove dust from the surfaces and tops of glazed porcelain stoneware, simply use a cloth soaked in warm (but not hot) water, to avoid thermal shock.
- Prevention : We recommend always using only soft cloths, to prevent the risk of surface scratches. For the same reason, avoid using hard abrasive metal pads and any harsh substances that could damage the enamel.
- Methods : To remove surface spots we recommend using a white rubber eraser. For more difficult spots, we recommend adding some Castile soap or bicarbonate to a damp cloth.
