Alessi — Todo | Made in Italy Cheese Grater

Alessi Todo — The Grater That Becomes a Gesture

There is something almost ritualistic about grating cheese at the table: a repeated, often hurried gesture that Todo transforms into a moment of presence. With a single pass along the truncated-conical body, just the right amount falls onto the plate - and the movement takes on an almost playful quality, unexpected for such an everyday gesture.

Why we chose it for you

Founded in 1921 on Lake Orta, Alessi has been, for over a century, a place where function and poetry meet around tableware objects. Todo was born from Richard Sapper's long personal exploration of the grater: the result is an accessory with a truncated-conical shape that becomes a vertical sculpture when not in use, and a precise tool when needed. An object that deserves a place on the table, not hidden away in a drawer.
