Dressed Mug, Suitable for Hot and Cold Drinks

Part of the Dressed tableware series designed by Marcel Wanders, this mug features decoration that combines floral motifs with baroque detailing. The contrast between relief patterns and glossy undecorated surfaces keeps the design elegant and light. Suitable for both hot and cold beverages, it is crafted from materials that support the collection's tactile, multi-sensory character.

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, yet the collection remains elegant and light thanks to the contrast between background and decoration highlighted by the variation between relief and glossy undecorated surfaces. The Dressed collection includes crockery, a tea and coffee service, crystal glasses, steel cutlery decorated with a forging technique, a tray, a plate holder, and glass and bottle holders made of 18/10 stainless steel.The featured mug is suitable for serving both cold and hot beverages.
