Alessi
The F.F.F. Collection
The F.F.F. Family Follows Fiction project was conceived in the early 1990s, and aimed to explore the affective structure of shapes and objects, starting from the idea of reproducing the object creation process followed by children and primitive cultures. The result is a family of playful objects reminiscent of fairytale characters: they offer attractive answers to everyday uses, they suggest mediation through playing, and they are a bridge to the world of the imagination.
The Company
Founded in 1921 as a “Workshop for the processing of brass and nickel silver sheet metal, with foundry”, Alessi has always stood out for the high quality of its products.
In almost a century of history, the company has gradually evolved to become one of the leading “Factories of Italian design”, capable of applying its expertise and excellence in design management to many different product types.
Open to change and international development, Alessi at the same time has a strong bond with the traditions and cultural background of its area and continues to be synonymous with handcrafted objects produced with the help of machines.
Alessigraphy: The Geography of Alessi Production
Since the Company’s Foundation in 1921 the Majority of Alessi Products have Been Manufactured through the Cold Working of Metals, a Tradition that is Kept Alive Today by the Skilled Workers at the Crusinallo Plant in Omegna.
Over time, Alessi also began to work with many other materials, such as porcelain, glass, wood, and plastic. A specific production method was developed for each one. Even when production takes place outside the Crusinallo plant, Alessi’s guidelines ensure the company’s original production quality standards, continuing to reconcile industrial technological complexity with an artisanal eye for detail.
The objects produced from the different materials are manufactured in various production plants across the world. They remain original Alessi objects in that they are conceived with the same design excellence and produced with the same attention to quality that sets the company’s products apart.

Good Design Makes for a Happy CookThis cheese grater is in two world class museums as an example of excellent design and good art combined. In your own kitchen, it takes a little focused work to get the grater out of its slot. The trick is to lift one corner as if you were peeling it off, working from the smaller opening, what appears to be the top of the item in the picture. It’s a great way to bring Parmesan or any other hard cheese to the table to grate neatly and deliver exactly the amount you want as a topping. Great gift.

Great design, fun to have on the tableThis may not be practical for cooking (best to have your typical multi-sided grater in the kitchen), but it’s perfect for the kitchen table. I grate parmegiano-reggiano into the cellar and leave it out during dinner, then throw plastic wrap over the remainder and refrigerate it in the container. That way it’s ready for leftovers the next day, as well.This has a fine grate that gives out half-inch long strands of cheese, so the harder the cheese you use, the better. When I first got the grater, I had a hard time getting the metal grate apart from the cellar, but it loosened a bit after that and now easily goes in and out. I’ve used it several times and run it through the dishwasher with no problems.This is also a great price for an Alessi item, which is known for their finesse and fun in the world of design.

Great and well priced. Great gift for a cooking enthusiast!Practical and well designed. Gorgeous deep red color. Sharp blades. Wipe clean after washing to prevent rusting. Store parmesan shreds and block together inside the container and keep in fridge. This is a fridge to table item, so highly functional!

Efficient, Functional, Stylish, DurableThis is a replacement of our 20 year old model. It is efficiently designed for optimal cheese grating, storage and serving. Dishwasher safe and durable. Our old model has finally developed a small crack along one side grater track, but still works fine. Just wanted to make sure I had a replacement if the crack grows,

Love this cheese graterI own one of these and love the look and design of this grater, it’s easy to use, too. Ordered it for a birthday gift for my brother-in-law, who’s a good cook. He loves it, too, comments that it’s especially good for grating parmesan.

Love these! Bought one in red for my elderly …Love these! Bought one in red for my elderly mother years ago. Makes it easier on her to grate while standing in kitchen, then take to the table to shake on as needed.
