Pour tous ceux qui aiment le moment du petit déjeuner et pas seulement, Marcel Wanders a dessiné une série d'objets qui enrichissent la collection d'art de la table initialement appelée « Dressed ». Dans cette série très caractéristique de son travail, le designer réinterprète de façon très contemporaine les formes et les styles anciens. Edité par Alessi, le confiturier Dressed permet de présenter trois types de confiture grâce à ces compartiments séparés. Les couvercles en inox rappelant les sonnettes à l'ancienne et le socle en porcelaine finement décorée, forment un accessoire de cuisine qui complète la table du petit déjeuner avec raffinement et délicatesse.
Born in the Netherlands in 1963, Marcel Wanders obtained his art degree from the Arnhem School of Art in 1988. He worked for two years in one of the leading Dutch design studios, and in 1992 became one of the four partners of WAAC's Design&Consultancies, rapidly becoming one of the most recognised studios in the Netherlands. Marcel Wandersfounded Moooi in 2001 with Casper Vissers, whose designs are renowned for their originality and fun. The company has grown and collaborated with well-known designers such as Maarten Baas, Ross Lovegrove and Studio Job. The brand's creations can be found in many museums around the world, including MoMA in New York and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Marcel Wanders creates furniture and decorative objects for some of the world's leading brands, including B&B Italia, Cappellini, Poliform, Magis (Cyborg armchair) and Baccarat, with its exceptional decanters and candleholders.

ALESSI
In 1921, Giovanni Alessi founded the Italian company Alessi. Since 1929, the company has focussed on producing nickel- or silver-plated copper tableware. When Carlo Alessi, Giovanni's son, was appointed design director in 1935, handcrafting methods were replaced by industrial manufacturing. In 1955, the company began collaborating with world-renowned architects and designers such as Richard Sapper, Ettore Sottsass, and later, Philippe Starck and Marcel Wanders. Alessi makes design accessible by focussing on useful, humorous and visually appealing home accessories. Most of its products have become design classics that are sold and exhibited around the world.
