Alessi Dressed

Designer Marcel Wanders

The placemat Dressed was designed by Marcel Wanders. Traditionally, embellishments are placed on the important and visible parts of an object. However, Wanders positions them in inconspicuous, slightly hidden areas, sometimes even in places that are typically not visible. One could thus speak of an introverted decoration in Wanders' work. The name of the collection, Dressed, suggests a decoration designed like a beautiful dress: it is meant to emphasize the content without overshadowing it.
