Alessi ‘’PlateBowlCup’’ set of 16 plates (8 dinner plates and 8 (Soup) Bowls) made out of white porcelain. The set was originally designed in 2008 by Jasper Morrison for Alessi. “This is all you need to set out a great daily table.” That's how Jasper Morrison described this ‘’PlateBowlCup’’ set . The ‘’PlateBowlCup’’ tableware has a discreet and sophisticated design, as if they were new and exclusive plates for a restaurant. This range also reveals intense study of detailing, giving remarkable consistency in terms of shape and solidity to a form that is only apparently simple. This is because Jasper Morrison’s design work privileges the quest for new quality in shape and substance, by means of many small and discreet technical and formal details. For example the rims of the plates and bowls, which are rather thick to give extra strength to the piece, as in the best hoteliery tradition, give the line a soft, solid appearance. In the same way, the weight of the units was carefully considered so that they offer an appropriate, pleasant sense of solidity. They also offer greater thermal inertia, so that the plates maintain food warm for longer. The ‘’PlateBowlCup’’ service is an expression intended to be a mark of quality, no compromise was accepted for the quality of the design. Jasper himself has said: “I like the idea of ‘’democratic tableware’’ 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”. I would like to add that his quest for anti-glamour “normality” paradoxically gives his designs an air of sophisticated simplicity, which is a good description of one of the ambitions of the Alessi brand.
