designer harri koskinen has created a collection of multi-purpose tableware consisting of
glasses and a bamboo container/tray for alessi. founder of design studio friends of industry ltd,
he is known to conceptualize products that are not only functional inventions but also
seek to experiment with production techniques and the way people interact with the products. I have called this voracious tray 'fat' because it has already swallowed everyhing you
need for setting a table, which is now on the inside, while on top, fresh food, beverages
or pastries area ready to be served during a business meeting or an afternoon tea. it is
the first tray/container by alessi and their only wooden tray currently in production.' - HK 123dl is a set of three glasses intended for all sorts of purposes: drinking/toasting,
measuring/cooking, stacking/storing. I was thinking about these glasses as a set that
could satisfy numerous needs throughout the day: maybe for a snack, or enjoying an
espresso or a cappuccino or ... using these same three glasses as measuring cups: flour
in the tallest glass (3 dl), 4 eggs in the medium one (2 dl) and salt to taste' -HK
