Dry Dessert Fork
Made by Alessi
Designed by Achille Castiglioni
Achille Castiglioni brought his characteristic wit and precision to the Dry collection, producing flatware whose form is immediately recognizable and quietly radical. The Dessert Fork pairs a mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel tine with a matte handle, creating a deliberate contrast in finish that gives the piece its visual tension.
The proportions are calibrated for ease in the hand, and the silhouette holds its own on any table without demanding attention. Castiglioni's conviction was that well-designed everyday objects should function perfectly while revealing their intelligence only gradually, and the Dry collection is among the clearest expressions of that belief.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Alessi Dry flatware collection?
The Dry collection was designed by Achille Castiglioni, one of the most celebrated Italian designers of the twentieth century, known for his rigorous functionalism and an irreverent approach to everyday objects. His work for Alessi sits within a long collaboration between the brand and Italy's most significant design voices.
What steel grade is used in the Alessi Dry flatware?
The Dry collection is produced in 18/10 stainless steel, which contains 18% chromium and 10% nickel. This grade is widely regarded as the standard for quality flatware, offering strong corrosion resistance and a durable, lasting finish.
What is the finish difference between the handle and tines?
The Dry Dessert Fork features a mirror-polished finish on the tine and a contrasting matte finish on the handle. This intentional distinction is central to the piece's design identity, adding tactile and visual interest without ornamentation.
Is the Alessi Dry collection dishwasher safe?
18/10 stainless steel flatware from Alessi is generally dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended to preserve the contrast between the mirror-polished and matte finishes over time.
How does the Dry collection fit within Achille Castiglioni's broader work?
Castiglioni's design philosophy centered on the idea that ordinary objects deserve extraordinary thought. The Dry collection reflects his belief in functional clarity and restrained form, placing it alongside his most enduring contributions to twentieth-century Italian design.
