Designed by Paolo Gerosa, the Voile offers a touch of minimalism to the vibrant and colorful art that is pasta. This [stylish and functional kitchen accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savor-series) is made of [stainless steel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stainless-steel-pizza-cutter) by the renowned Italian manufacturer [Alessi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessi-pliss-milk-frother), making this product durable in addition to stylish.
