Dressed Wooden Cheese Board - Round Beech with Baroque Rim

The round cheese board is crafted from beech wood by artisans in the Strona valley on Lake Orta, Italy. Its rim carries the Baroque decoration typical of the Dressed in Wood collection, adding a tactile, decorative edge to the solid wood surface. The board offers a sturdy, practical base for serving cheeses and is part of Marcel Wanders' Dressed line for Alessi.

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.The wooden cheese board shown here is part of the Dressed in Wood collection, highlighting the craftsmanship of the artisans of the Strona valley on Lake Orta in Italy.
