Cassandra's Iguminov design is inspired by the flamboyant decoration of the window sills of the Iguminov House in Moscow. Brushing away the snow on one of the window frames of the house, Cassandra discovered a tapered detail of the large central bosse that had a crossed hatch pattern deeply cut into the stone. Back in her workshop, she recreated this intricate form, leaving the recesses matt so giving the design depth and sparkle. It has become one of Cassandra's classic signature designs. From the Journey to Russia.
