Anna Gong Folding Cake Stand

The Anna Gong cake stand is Mendini's tribute to the legendary folding cake stand "art. 898". Anna Gong has, like its predecessor, two aspects and two uses: when closed, it's a table-top sculpture; when open, it becomes a multi-tier cake stand that can be used at the table.

A best seller since it was first produced in 1994, the Anna G. corkscrew is a tongue-in-cheek homage to a real woman. Her smiling face has become something of a cult figure over the years, giving birth (so to speak) to a rich family of objects for the table and kitchen in a wide range of materials.
