Description
Known for being the original developer of the ''principles of the total work of art,'' Josef Hoffmann would incorporate these ideals into original historic Alessi designs of 1906 such as the Rundes Modell Flatware. Presented for the first time at ''The Laid Table'' exhibit in Wien (Vienna), this cutlery was definitely ahead of its time with its truly modern shape and design. Originally handmade in silver between 1910 and 1912, today this set is reproduced by Alessi in polished 18/10 stainless steel for durability and practicality. The contemporary form of the ''Rundes Modell'' Dessert Knife reflects Hoffmann's search for ultimate functionality combined with extreme elegance utilizing the common materials and processes of the World War era.
