The Dressed tableware series is another addition to the Spring/Summer 2011 collection, designed by Marcel Wanders and is part of the Alessi catalogue. Dutch-born Marcel Wanders has made 'new decoration' one of his trademarks, using decoration in unconventional ways and often applying it in unusual places, sometimes completely out of sight of the users. This unusual approach makes interacting with the Dutchman's objects a multi-sensory experience - including the tactile sensibility of the material. The series containing tableware has been named Dressed in reference to the decoration, which, like a beautiful dress, should be designed to best display the contents without being too overbearing. Marcel Wanders' designs are rich and expressive and combine floral motifs with baroque glamour, but the collection remains elegant and light thanks to the contrast between background and decoration highlighted by the differentiation between relief and shiny undecorated surfaces. The Dressed collection includes crockery, tea and coffee service, crystal glasses, forged decorated steel cutlery, a tray, a plate holder and glass and bottle holders made of 18/10 stainless steel.
Dressed cutlery is available both in sets and individually. Decorated by the forging method, they combine elegance with high quality. A large number of specialised cutlery is available in the Dressed cutlery series.
The smallest of the Dressed sets (5 pieces) consists of: a spoon, a knife, a fork, a tea spoon and a dessert fork.
The medium set (24 pieces) consists of: 6 spoons, 6 forks, 6 knives and 6 coffee spoons.
The largest set (75 items) contains: 12 spoons, 12 forks, 12 knives, 12 dessert forks, 12 dessert knives, 12 coffee spoons, ladle, serving spoon and serving knife.
