For many years, Dry was Alessi's only model of cutlery. Despite the grim prospects forwarded by those in the sector (There's no way a manufacturer can offer the market just one single model, you will never get anywhere!), it proved that its innovative shape and resolute style, along with extreme manageability and an excellent finish, were much more important to the public that many old market prejudices would have us believe. Over the years, the Dry model has opened up the road for us for various other cutlery sets, though it has always remained well up among the leaders.
