The Antechinus ( a little mouse native to Australia) Cheese Knife was designed by Anita Dineen for Alessi in 2010. Its lines recall both the stylized forms of a slice of cheese and that of a little mouse intent on enjoying its favorite food. The curve creates a sensuous grip, giving the knife a balanced and aesthetically pleasing aspect. It can stand on its blade, and both sides are sharp, making it suitable for use on mature cheeses.
Anita is from the island of Tasmania, working predominately in metal, she creates unique artworks and home-centric objects.
