An organic shape inspired by pebbles smoothed down by water and wind, plied from stainless steel via a complex manufacturing process. “Forma” - its name emphasizes 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 Zaha Hadid, capable of absorbing facets of the visual arts and converting them into objects with fluid and dynamic shapes: small, sculptural tabletop architectures, like the cheese grater “Forma”. Cheese grater in 18/10 stainless steel with base in melamine. Measures 14 x 20cm. 

Since its founding in 1921, Alessi has gradually evolved to become one of the leading factories of Italian design. Working with a variety of materials such as stainless steel, glass, and plastic, Alessi's mission is to reconcile art and industry, creating handcrafted objects produced with the help of machines.
