FAQs
What material is the Alessi Canale Cutlery Holder made from?
It is made from mirror-polished stainless steel.
What are the dimensions of the holder?
The dimensions are approximately 13.1 cm in length, 7 cm in width, and 15.1 cm in height.
Can I use this holder in the dishwasher?
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the mirror-polished finish. Dishwashers may cause scratching or dulling over time.
Is the design suitable for modern or traditional dining settings?
The design's architectural nature makes it a versatile accent piece, often fitting well in contemporary settings but can also serve as a unique contrast in more traditional environments.
Does the holder come in other colors?
This specific model is described as 'Silver' and features a polished steel finish. Other color or finish options may be available separately.
How does the drainage feature work?
The underside of the holder has small drilled holes that allow water to escape, facilitating air-drying for cutlery placed in it after washing.
Troubleshooting
Holder appears dull or has smudges
Clean with warm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized stainless steel polish.
Cutlery slides or tips over
Ensure utensils are placed evenly within the tubes. For very thin items, consider using a divider or placing them closer to the center.
Water pools in the base when drying
Ensure the holder is placed on a flat surface and that the drainage holes are not obstructed. Wipe away any collected water after drying.
