Dressed En Plein Air Small Dish – / Melamine – Alessi

The inimitable style of the iconoclast designer, Marcel Wanders, is being invited to your garden party! Summer implies picnics, barbecues and garden parties: to have the perfect lunch on the grass, Marcel Wanders is offering a wonderful collection of travel crockery with a deliciously romantic style. Resistant and durable, the “Dressed en plein air” collection provides sophistication and joy to life outdoors. An alternative to disposable, single-use plastic tableware, the plates, bowls and cups are made from food-grade melamine, free from Bisphenol A (no BPA). All the items are dishwasher safe and reusable. With its embossed decorations and its adorned edges, the melamine imitates the romantic style of grandmother’s fine china. The wonderful embossed baroques patterns form a sophisticated lace which evokes the richly decorated tableware of the past. The design of the Dressed en plein air collection relies on a subtle dual interplay between sophistication and simplicity. The clean and modern lines of the cups rub shoulders with the wavy contours with the wonderful whiff of yesteryear from the plates and salad bowls. The pieces from the Dressed en plein air collection are available in delicate shades of white and grey. Black cutlery, transparent glasses and carafes complement the collection. The designer, Marcel Wanders: “This resolutely festive collection is in line with the breakthrough in ceramic pieces to develop its own language, with elegant cutlery and an embossed pattern that you find both on the reverse side and on the edge of several pieces. Designed as a range in mild grey, it naturally suits all occasions outdoors, for a lunch by the pool or in a park, as well as for a diner in the garden at sunset. So that shared moments where friends and family get together around a table turn into festive occasions, there is nothing like a wonderful table decorated to professional standards. What’s unique in this collection is the joy that it brings thanks to its fresh, clean, more accessible and more romantic design.”
