Italian designer Achille Castiglioni (1918-2002) was born in Milan. He studied architecture at the Polytechnic of Milan and in 1944 set up a design office with his brothers, Livio and Pier Giacomo --Livio left in 1952-- which would become one of the most witty, elegant and innovative partnerships in modern design. They worked from the viewpoint that design must restructure an object's function, form and production process, and applied this maxim to every work that they produced. Castiglioni described this process: "Start from scratch. Stick to common sense. Know your goals and means."

The Dry collection was Alessi's only model of cutlery. Despite the grim prospects forwarded by those in the sector, the collection proves that its innovative shape and resolute style, along with extreme manageability and an excellent finish, can weather the storm. Over the years, the Dry model has opened up the road for us and various other cutlery sets, though it has always remained well up among the leaders.
