Celebrate Italian design at its most playful and iconic with this "Running Man" cake stand, designed by Mattia di Rosa for Alessi.
This striking piece features a clear glass bowl supported by a whimsical sculptural figure—a stylized man in motion, seemingly holding the bowl aloft with boundless energy. Resting on a polished metal base, the contrast of glass, steel, and vibrant colors embodies the spirit of Alessi's bold and imaginative design style.
A perfect example of postmodern Italian tableware from the late 20th century, this tableware is both functional and artistic: ideal for serving cakes, pastries, or fruit, but equally impressive as a decorative statement piece.
Made in Italy, it reflects Mattia di Rosa's unique approach to design, combining humor, movement, and sculptural form.
The cake stand is in very good vintage condition and shows only minimal signs of age. Rarely found on the market today, it is a highly sought-after collector's item for Alessi enthusiasts and those who appreciate contemporary Italian design.
