Alessi — Clivo PU10/3 | Urquiola steel table knife

There is something organic about the way the Clivo knife rests between the fingers. The AISI 420 stainless steel blade flows toward the handle along a gentle, almost imperceptible curve, reminiscent of the natural shape of a stone smoothed by water. It is not an object that imposes itself on the table: it is an object that inhabits it, with the same discretion as something designed to last. Clivo was created by Patricia Urquiola, a Spanish designer trained in Milan and one of the most authoritative voices in contemporary international design. With Alessi, Urquiola builds a dialogue that goes beyond function: each piece in the eponymous collection is the result of deep reflection on the convivial gesture, on the way tableware participates in the ritual of the meal. The handle's profile - which gives the entire line its name, *clivo* meaning slope or gentle incline - translates this philosophy into pure form, without decorative excess. At Stilmobili, we chose Clivo because it represents exactly what we look for when we talk about tableware design: beauty that does not compromise usability, formal rigor that does not exclude pleasure. It is the ideal cutlery for those who set a table with the same care with which they choose a work of art, for those who believe that quality is perceived even before it is named.
