Cheese Please grater made of 18/10 stainless steel. Characterized by an elegant cowbell shape, Cheese Please stands out to be both a design object to be displayed on the table, and a very functional object for its purpose. The type of hole in "Cheese please" is circular in shape surrounded by small teeth. The holes thus shaped allow you to grate "by tear", a process particularly suitable for aged cheeses such as Parmesan. Designed by Gabriele Key and Lorenza Bozzoli for Alessi.

This project is a fine example of the use of Metaphor (or perhaps Allegory, or who knows what other of the many rhetorical figures in linguistics) in the field of design. I remember that in the literature the term "figure of speech" referred to any artifice in a speech used to create a special effect. Occurs when in a sentence a normal term is replaced by another whose essence or function obscures that of the original term, thus creating a highly expressive image (examples: "you are such a fool", "swan song", "sleeping like a dormouse "," the party is in turmoil "...). Often also used in the field of design, rhetorical figures have become almost fundamental in the case of the so-called playful design: as can be seen in these three projects by Key and Bozzoli in which the Cowbell alludes to the Parmigiano della Grattugia, the belt buckle alludes to the act of squeezing the squeezer and the chestnut-shaped pillbox evokes (for those who remember) the ancient custom of keeping at hand a small portion of chestnut powder to put under the nose for medicinal purposes in case of strong colds. In this way, Alberto Alessi defines Cheese Please, a grater capable not only of perfectly adapting to its purpose, but also of transmitting a very specific message. Made of 18/10 stainless steel, Cheese Please is a must-have item on your table. Discover Cheese Please and the other fantastic Alessi products here, on Newpop.it!

Born in 1921, Alessi was gradually evolved becoming a leading exponent of the "Italian design factories", capable of creating a stable and lasting connection between the most interesting expressions of international creativity and the public, the market. Its mission is to translate international creativity into objects capable of satisfying the dreams and desires of the public it addresses. Alessi makes the ordinary extraordinary: it creates the right balance between aesthetics, functionality and quality in her everyday objects, making them fascinating and unique. It was been defined as a dream factory: through its products, in fact, it responds to the need for happiness, art and poetry common to all men. Open to change and innovation, Alessi was always distinguished itself for being a real industrial research laboratory in the field of applied arts, not a simple industry in the classical sense. Despite the openness to innovations and new technologies, Alessi remains tied to the traditions and cultural background of its territory. He manages to create a balance between innovation and tradition by making handicrafts with the use of machines. Since 1921, and still today in the Crusinallo di Omegna factory, Alessi has mainly focused on the production of products created by cold working metals. In recent decades it was included in its range many other materials such as wood, porcelain, glass and plastic, expanding its catalog and forming unique products, oscillating between technological complexity and typical details of craftsmanship.
