Alessi has a tradition of seeking out emerging and well established designers to design their products which are developed for modern culture. The Alessi flatware collection offers a range of modern styles in 18/10 stainless steel sometimes matched with dinnerware by the same name. The alessi flatware has a nice selection of mirror and matte finishes, round and square edges, light and weighty, and thick and thin. Alessi has hired designers like Achille Castiglioni, Stefano Giovannoni, Jasper Morrison, David Chipperfield, and Doriana and Massimilano Fuksas to design great cutlery collections like the Dry, Mami, Colombina, Santiago, and Knifeforkspoon.
