The best way to manage the large number of cakes, sweets, cupcakes or pralines to be placed on the table is to place them on a specially designed dish, the etagere. The Fatman platter by Alessi is a modern variation on a classic form of this accessory, which for many today might seem too monotonous and incompatible with minimalist interiors. The Fatman platter is a design by Marcel Wanders, who, inspired by the wealth of patterns and colours that accompany travelling circuses, decided to "dress" his design in an original pattern, depicting a clown figure with a charming, classic collar around his neck. The form of this original stool gives the impression of elegance and lightness, but also ensures that the product is highly functional. When the platter is unfolded, it forms three round platters, which can accommodate a variety of sweets or small sandwiches to create an atmosphere worthy of a traditional English afternoon tea. Made from high quality, polished 18/10 stainless steel and with its unusual form, Fatman is suitable for both modern and classic interiors and its shape will encourage your guests to treat themselves. All this, in spite of its provocative and humorous name:), but after all, a little sweetness never hurt anyone...
Fatman is not the first project of this type by Alessi. The legendary 898 folding cake stand was in its heyday in the 1960s, and the Anna Gong tray, inspired by the iconic Anna Gong corkscrew, is another example of Alessi's successful marriage of modernity and classics. An ideal idea for a unique gift.
