VICO MAGISTRETTI x CLETO MUNARI
Sterling Silver barbecue's cutlery, 1980s
Total weight: 450 g.
formed by a carving fork and a carving knife for cutting meat during a barbecue. Magistretti's design is a search for the essential and rigorous, but it can take unusual forms for practical purposes: for example, in the silver cutlery, designed for Cleto Munari in the 1980s, there is a decorative element that serves to make room for the thumb during use, inspired by the culinary techniques of English cooks. There is a revision of the traditional that coexists with functionality and originality. Accompanied by case.
