Dry Table Knife
Achille Castiglioni approached flatware the way he approached everything: with curiosity about the ordinary. The Dry Table Knife distills that sensibility into an object held daily, asking what a knife can feel like when proportion and finish are treated as design decisions rather than afterthoughts.
The blade is mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel, chosen for its durability and its ability to hold a precise, reflective surface over years of use. The handle shifts to a matte finish, creating a deliberate contrast that is tactile as much as visual. The hand reads the difference before the eye does.
- 18/10 stainless steel construction
- Mirror-polished blade with matte handle finish
- Designed by Achille Castiglioni for Alessi
- Part of the broader Dry flatware collection
Castiglioni's Dry collection remains one of the more quietly radical flatware programs in Alessi's history. Its silhouette refuses ornament, and its balance in the hand reflects a designer who believed comfort and character were never in opposition.
