‘I have called this voracious tray ‘fat’ because it has already swallowed everyhing you need for setting a table, which is now on the inside, while on top, fresh food, beverages or pastries area ready to be served during a business meeting or an afternoon tea. it is the first tray/container by alessi and their only wooden tray currently in production.’ – HK

123dl, set composed of three glasses/measuring cups in crystalline glass photo by emilio tremolada‘123dl is a set of three glasses intended for all sorts of purposes: drinking/toasting, measuring/cooking, stacking/storing. I was thinking about these glasses as a set that could satisfy numerous needs throughout the day: maybe for a snack, or enjoying an espresso or a cappuccino or … using these same three glasses as measuring cups: flour in the tallest glass (3 dl), 4 eggs in the medium one (2 dl) and salt to taste’ -HK
