Achille Castiglioni crystallized his design aspirations immediately after the Second World War, focusing mainly on city planning, architecture, and particularly design. Achille has received various acknowledgments such as the permanent exhibition of six works at the Museum of Modern Art of New York and the winning five editions of the Compasso d'Oro award. Continuing his spectacular design legacy he has reinvented many items for Alessi featuring modern flair and functionality. Castiglioni designed the ''Dry'' flatware for Alessi in 1982, and since then winning several design awards. It is a beautiful contemporary classic design with satin steel handles that provide a beautiful counterpoint to their contrasting polished steel functional ends. Cast from durable 18/10 stainless steel, these pieces will be sure to become a contemporary family classic.
