Alessi Cutlery NUOVO MILANO by Ettore Sottass

Now a recognised classic and winner of the Premio Compasso d'Oro (1989) and the Bio 12 at the Ljubljana Biennale (1988), the Nuovo Milano cutlery set entered production after several years of formal experimenting, prototyping, and technological research on differentiated thicknesses in the bodies of the cutlery pieces: Ettore Sottsass wanted his cutlery to be as smooth as seaworn stones.

The Nuovo Milano cutlery set, designed by Ettore Sottsass, has become a classic. The author wanted this tableware to be “smooth as an ocean rock”, with a soft and rounded shape. It won the XVIth Compasso d'oro award.
