programma 8 cheese set
Design Franco Sargiani & Eija Helander, 1975
Stainless steel, beech, stoneware
Made by Alessi
"The most evolved system of household objects ever created on an international level" -Alessandro Mendini
Franco Sargiani and Eija Helander designed "Programma 8" as a systematic and comprehensive project of small modular and stackable household items. This was based on the very same methodological premise of the "international style" architecture of the period: the theory of open-system meta-design ideal for the free composition of unlimited living and formal models. This design concept radically overhauled the implements used for table and kitchen service, oriented towards maximum practicality and flexible use.
This innovative set includes a chopping board in Beech-wood, stainless steel tray, 2 small stoneware dishes, 1 larger stoneware dish with lid and cheese knife.
stainless steel tray: 20.75" L | 11.5" w
chopping board: 11.75" L & W | 1.5" h
large dish: 6.5" L & W | 2.75" h | 1qt.
small dish: 6" L | 3" w | 1.5" h | 6.5oz.
knife: 11.5" L
$352.00 + free shipping in the continental U.S.

Alessi was founded in 1921 by Giovanni Alessi to produce crafted metal products for eating and drinking. In 1935, Carlo Alessi, son of Giovanni, was named chief designer. In 1945, he ascended to chief executive and designed the coffee service Bombé, an industrial piece manufactured in four sizes. That same year Carlo's younger brother, Ettore Alessi, joined the company as a technician. By the 1980s, Alberto Alessi took over the management of Alessi and launched the Alessi company into the design decade through collaborations with designers such as Philippe Starck and his playful three-legged Juicy Salif citrus squeezer.
