The Alessi Circus series jars with hermetic lids can be used to store various food items, locking in all of their freshness, aroma and flavour. For these objects, Marcel Wanders imagines a decoration reminiscent of the merry-go-rounds often set up along with the circus big top. The lid is decorated with the traditional red and white stripes of fairground ride awnings, while the gold-coloured knob conjures up the ornamental element that adorns the centre. The result is enchanting: Wanders transforms classic kitchen jars into cheerful mini fairground rides.
