Folding Cake Stand - Fatman

Fatman was designed by Marcel Wanders who has focused his attention onthe object#s decoration, creating a kind of colourful suit in which todress the cake stand. This aspect makes the object versatile: closed, itis a table sculpture; open it becomes a multi-tier cake stand for tableservice. In this sense it is not just a folding object, because when youclose it up it doesn#t simply stop being a container, it transforms intoa beautiful object to be admired. The colourful decoration designed byWanders, combined with the round shape, tends to emphasise the formalperception of the object. Fatman, as the name suggests, presents thefeatures of a man with a robust body, dressed in an outfit reminiscentof a clown.
