parmenide cheese grater | transparent-translucent – design alejandro ruiz

grating parmigiano, capturing it in the container below and putting it onto the pasta – simultaneously a grater and cheese container. The thermoplastic resin material is brought into its pleasing, functional shape using extrusion blow molding technology. a flattening at the bottom ensures a secure footing. the shape and translucency of the material give this simple commodity its aesthetic. the idea of combining two functions in one commodity is neither new nor earth-shattering, yet the 'parminade' is a colourful, cheerful, ornamental object with a double utility value.
