Fatman Folding Cake Stand (MW08)

Can a cake stand also be an artistic clown sculpture? Fatman, designed by the visionary Marcel Wanders, is one of the boldest pieces in Alessi's portfolio. It's an object that brings joy, color, and a touch of circus magic to your dining experience.

Fatman isn't just a stand; it's a character with a story. When folded, it looks like a stylized clown figure in an richly decorated costume. But just unfold its "belly," and a three-tiered tray opens before you, ready for your favorite desserts. Wanders masterfully utilized ornate patterns that reference the world of the circus tent, combining them with the perfection of stainless steel.

Why will Fatman dominate every feast?

• Collector's Unique Item: Marcel Wanders is known for his "new baroque," and Fatman is his most famous contribution to Alessi. It's a piece for those who aren't afraid to stand out.

• Surprising Functionality: Similar to Anna Gong, Fatman is a compact sculpture when folded, not taking up space but constantly entertaining its surroundings.

• Masterful Decor: The combination of polished steel and colored enamel creates a luxurious contrast that brightens any interior.
