Alessi’s knives slice their way to Design Plus Award victory

Some people take their cheese seriously, and it is for them that Alessi has produced the La Via Lattea (“Milky Way”) knife collection. The four-knife set-up–that’s two for hard cheeses, two for soft, you Philistine–was designed by Anna and Gian Franco Gasparini and is manufactured by Tuscany’s Andrea Berti cutlery works, where a single worker produces each knife from start to finish.

La Via Lattea has just been given a 2010 Design Plus Award, meaning it will be on display early next year at the Ambiente 2010 exhibition alongside other DPA winners.
