Alessi - Zaha Hadid - Răzătoare pentru brânză - ''Forma'' - Otel inoxidabil 18/10 cu baza din melaminata

This cheese grater has an organic shape inspired by the natural formation of pebbles eroded over time by the action of water and sand. The grater is plied from stainless steel via a complex manufacturing process. “Forma” - its name emphasises its main feature (forma means shape in Italian) - is a grater designed to mould to the shape of your palm, making it easy and pleasant to hold. The perfect expression of the visionary design abilities of the Pritzker prize-winning architect, capable of absorbing facets of the visual arts and converting them into objects with fluid and dynamic shapes: small, sculptural tabletop architectures.

The French-style grater teeth make it extremely functional and easy to clean: devised not to overwhelm the shape of the object, but rather to follow and emphasise its geometric structure. Fitted with a rear aperture to allow you to pour out the grated cheese that has fallen inside while grating and to clean the grater after use. The grater rests on a black melamine base with which it forms a single, sculptural whole. It features a slightly concave part where the cheese for grating can be placed, and the base allows you to carry the object directly to the table, ready for use.

The Forma cheese grater was one of the two last projects Hadid worked on. Unfortunately, Zaha Hadid did not live to see the launch of the product to the market.

This cheese grater is in a new and unused condition. Delivered with original packaging. The stainless steel part is dishwasher safe.
