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.

Ettore Sottsass
Born in Innsbruck in 1917, he is known the world over as one of the initiators of the revolution in architecture and design which led away from the rigid functionalism of the years prior to and following the Second World War. A great and influential Maestro of Italian design, the energy of his language and the vitality of his colour and line contrast sharply with any intellectualism and rigidity. He dies in December 2007.
