Alessi Fatman MW08

Fatman was designed by Marcel Wanders, who focused on decoration by creating a kind of colorful clothing to wrap around the tiered stand. This makes the object versatile: when closed, it serves as a table sculpture, and when open, it becomes a multi-layered tiered stand for serving at the table. In this sense, Fatman is not just a foldable object, as it does not simply lose its function as a container when closed, but transforms into a figure to admire. The colorful decoration designed by Wanders further emphasizes the formal impact of the object through its round shape. As the name suggests, Fatman has the features of a corpulent person, with clothing reminiscent of a clown's.
