Dressed Cookie bin

The Dressed tableware series is part of an extremely wide-ranging collection designed by Marcel Wanders for the Alessi brand. The Dutch-born designer has made the Dressed collection one of his trademarks. A characteristic feature of the products in this line is the use of ornaments in an unconventional way, by applying them in unusual places, sometimes completely out of sight of the users. This unusual approach makes interacting with the Dutchman's objects an experience that relates to both the sense of sight and touch. Marcel Wanders' designs are elegant and light, yet full of richness, floral motifs and baroque splendour. The Dressed collection includes porcelain tableware, trays, glasses and pots and pans.
The biscuit container shown here is part of the Dressed collection dedicated to everyday, yet exquisite breakfasts. The glass container with its typically 'biscuit' shape is fitted with a stainless steel lid decorated with a baroque decoration typical of the collection. An interesting design element is the bell attached to the underside of the lid, which immediately alerts the owner of the biscuits stored in it should they be 'broken into'.
