ALESSI Stainless & Glass Parmesan Cheese Cellar by Ettore Sottsass Made in Italy. Authentic vintage Alessi 5071 Parmesan Cheese Cellar, designed by the legendary postmodern architect and Memphis Group founder Ettore Sottsass in 1978. Made in Italy.
This striking piece seamlessly combines mid-century modern utility with high-end Italian industrial art. Crafted from premium 18/10 mirror-polished stainless steel, it features a heavy, removable crystalline glass bowl insert and an integrated flip-top lid with a dedicated notch for a serving spoon.
While originally intended for elegant tabletop presentation of grated parmesan cheese, its minimal, geometric design makes it a beautiful luxury server for sugar, salt cellars, jams, honey, condiments, or sauces.
