Alessi — Dressed en plein air MW72/77 W | Melamine coffee saucer

There is something suspended between memory and invention in Alessi's MW72/77 W saucer: white like a freshly ironed tablecloth, with its raised decoration emerging from the melamine surface like an ancient embroidery brought to light. Holding it in your hands is a familiar yet surprising gesture - the lightness of the material contradicts the visual density of the ornament, while its generous sixteen-centimeter diameter gives it a stage presence that goes far beyond its function. Dressed is the collection through which Marcel Wanders gave Alessi back a decorative grammar that seemed to have been lost. Designed by the Dutch master - founder of Moooi, a central figure in European design, balancing storytelling and cultivated eccentricity - the line brings to the table the imagery of a summer garden, an unhurried picnic, and an outdoor lunch where beauty is never left to chance. Melamine, chosen not as a compromise but with intention, becomes the ideal support for outdoor use that sacrifices nothing in terms of aesthetics. The ornamental relief, present even on such a contemporary material, is Wanders's poetic statement: luxury as familiarity, not distance. At Stilmobili, we chose Dressed en plein air for those who believe that the table - even under the open sky, even on a terrace or in a garden - deserves the same care as a table set indoors. It is the right piece for those who want to indulge in detail without giving up practicality, and for those who know the difference between just any cup and a thoughtfully designed object.
