Alessi - Platebowlcup Dinnerware Collection

Jasper Morrison has a well-established international reputation as a designer with an ability to extend skill and composure of form across a broad range of products and materials. He served as the Editor of the Design Year Book in 1999, showing his range and design expertise, which is typically noted as wit and elegance that revitalize rationalist design. In fact, the design critic, Charles Arthur Boyer, described Morrison’s work as the production of “…everyday objects for everyone's use, making things lighter not heavier, softer not harder, inclusive rather than exclusive, and always generating energy light and space".


The new Platebowlcup tableware set and "Glass Family" glassware set takes its place alongside the "KnifeForkSpoon" cutlery set (2004) as the first Alessi tableware collection. Moderately priced but without the quality of the design being compromised, Jasper Morrison sought to create a democratic design: "I like the idea of a democratic wine glass which is slightly more formal than the others, to be used to give the table an easy aspect of a "dinner" rather than just dinner." Made in either white porcelain or crystalline glass, the plates, bowls, glasses, cups and saucers of this wonderful collection will evoke an air of sophisticated simplicity to your dining room.
