Alessi — Parmenide | Ruiz Design Grater

Alessi Parmenide - Grating Is Already Setting the Table

There is something pleasantly ritualistic about grating cheese at the table: the aroma, the gesture, the pause. Parmenide, designed by Alejandro Ruiz for Alessi, transforms this moment into a small piece of everyday theater. A grater and cheese server coexist in a single object with a clean shape, designed to remain on display even when not in use.

Why We Chose It for You

Alessi was founded in 1921 on Lake Orta as an artisan workshop and gradually became a research laboratory in the applied arts, where design and function meet without compromise. Parmenide is a faithful example of this vision: an accessory that meets two needs - grating and serving - with the same formal elegance. It is no coincidence that it has become part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
