Alessi — Dry 4180S5 | Castiglioni cutlery in 18/10 stainless steel

There is something radically honest about Achille Castiglioni's Dry set. The satin-finished handle - matte, almost dry to the touch, as the name itself suggests - contrasts with the polished head of the 18/10 stainless steel utensils, creating a visual dialogue that is restrained yet sophisticated. In the hand, the five pieces convey an almost millimeter-calibrated balance: neither too heavy nor so light as to seem indifferent. They are objects that make themselves noticed without raising their voice. Achille Castiglioni, a central figure in 20th-century Italian design, always believed that a project should begin with use - with the gesture, the hand, and daily habit. Dry stems from this philosophy: a reflection on the spoon, fork, and knife as tools before they are symbols. The polished/satin dichotomy is not an aesthetic affectation but a functional and poetic choice at once, telling the story of the boundary between the world of food and the hand that brings it to the mouth. A piece belonging to the history of Alessi and Italian design. At Stilmobili, we chose Dry because it perfectly represents what we look for when we talk about tableware design: formal intelligence without ostentation. It is the ideal service for those who furnish their home thoughtfully, for those who want an elegant table without giving in to decoration for its own sake. Perfect for both a minimalist Milanese apartment and a villa with a dining room full of character. The set includes a table spoon, table fork, table knife, dessert fork, and teaspoon. 18/10 stainless steel, mixed polished and satin finish. Dishwasher safe.
