If you Read Life's Small Pleasures-Part 2,you'll know why I'm featuring this quirky but functional find (available, for £3.40 (!) at Gulp Shopping).... Here's what the design team at ZO_loft, Rome (where else!) have to say about it:
The red and white checked tablecloth, Spaghetti, Parmesan ... these are just some of the clichés that have always accompanied our nation. Gangster Grater is designed on these and other clichés, played with a hint of irony, to become a perfect tool to serve with a beautiful Spaghettata. It’s a small stainless steel, two-dimensional reproduction of a classic 30's gangster car, but its side, riddled by machine gun shots, becomes a grater while the rim becomes a single-serving spaghetti measure (2 oz.) Mafia, Spaghetti and Parmesan to ironize on the Italian stereotype that films such as the The Godfather saga by Francis Ford Coppola helped to create. Not only. Finished with a protective hard rubber, Gangster Grater is dishwasher safe and can be completely recycled. Certenly an object "you can’t refuse." Materials: Stainless steel with rubber edge. Specifics: Includes single-serving spaghetti measure (2 oz.) Dishwasher safe. Dimensions: 9.5" x 4" Designed by ZO_loft
