Alessi — Clivo PU10/16 | Urquiola dessert fork

There is something deliberately sensual about the Clivo fork: the handle tapers with an imperceptible curve, almost like a restrained tension, before flowing into the tines with surgical precision. Made of 18/10 stainless steel — an alloy chosen for its lasting shine and resistance to the stresses of everyday use — Clivo is an object meant to be held, seeking contact with the fingers and rewarding it with a surprising balance for such a slender tool. Sixteen and a half centimeters of thoughtfully designed form. Patricia Urquiola, an Asturian architect and designer who became a naturalized Milanese citizen, brings to Clivo the same visual grammar that runs through all her work: the tension between the organic and the constructed, between softness and rigor. Urquiola — already known for collaborations with Moroso, Kartell, B&B Italia — works with Alessi around the idea of tableware that can be contemporary without being cold, functional without giving up a certain poetry. Clivo belongs to the Alessi Palinsesto autumn/winter collection, an editorial program that treats the table as a narrative space to be renewed season after season. At Stilmobili, we chose Clivo because it perfectly embodies that borderline area that interests us: between a utensil and a piece of domestic jewelry, between everyday use and occasional entertaining. It is the right fork for those who set a table with the same care they use to choose a work of art, for those who do not separate beauty from necessity. An ideal complement to a designer tableware set, it pairs naturally with both minimalist porcelain and more tactile ceramics.
