Alessi — Circus MW30/150 | Wanders screen-printed glass jar

There is something theatrical yet homely about Marcel Wanders' Circus for Alessi: an airtight glass jar that carries the grace of an object meant to be displayed, not hidden away. The screen-printed surface tells a visual story before the contents are even revealed, while the tinplate lid closes everything with a precise, almost ceremonial gesture. In its cylindrical form - 10.5 cm in diameter and 24.5 cm high - there is proportion, balance, and that 150 cl capacity that transforms function into stage presence. Marcel Wanders is one of the most recognizable designers of his generation: Dutch, eclectic, and able to move effortlessly between contemporary Baroque and functional simplicity. His partnership with Alessi has produced pieces capable of inhabiting a kitchen with the same authority they would bring to a gallery. Circus is no exception: the name itself evokes the circus, spectacle, and controlled wonder - and that tension between the ordinary and the astonishing is exactly the territory in which Wanders loves to work. We chose it for Stilmobili because it embodies a vision of the everyday object that is not content simply to be useful. It is the ideal jar for anyone who arranges a kitchen as they would arrange a room: with care, intention, and an eye for beauty even in the details of service. Perfect for storing pasta, legumes, spices, or simply adding character to a shelf. Project notes: screen-printed glass with a tinplate lid, capacity 150 cl, diameter 10.5 cm, height 24.5 cm.
