Alessi - Giulio Iacchetti & Matteo Ragni - Cutlery set...

Set of twelve multi-purpose cutlery small and essential, this multi-purpose cutlery designed in 2000 by Giulio Iacchetti and Matteo Ragni represents a real innovation within its type, synthesising in a single tool the functions of two fundamental pieces of cutlery for bringing food to the mouth: fork and spoon. This highly innovative cutlery set was awarded with the Compasso d'Oro in 2001 due to its contribution to the evolution of the contemporary table. Compact and handy, Moscardino is designed to respond to the changing habits of eating and receiving: for eating a meal quickly at home or during a trip, for a standing lunch or an informal aperitif. It is also ideal for serving small bites and finger food in a new and original way. This cutlery is dedicated for those who love to organise informal parties and aperitifs, without renouncing refinement, and for chefs of the art of finger food, to offer their delicacies in style. All the twelve multi-purpose cutlery are in a new and unused condition. Delivered with original packaging. Dishwasher-safe. The set is part of the Objets-Bijoux Collection by Alessi: Small functional objects with an evocative design, designed as jewellery to be carried along, intriguing for their dual nature: instrumental and ornamental. The shapes of the Objets-Bijoux refer to archetypal icons, immediately recognisable and resonant in everyone's memory.
