Alessi Nuovo Milano S24-M
Discription
The Nuovo Milano cutlery set, designed by Ettore Sottsass in 1987, has become a true classic. Sottsass envisioned this tableware to be “smooth as an ocean rock,” resulting in soft, rounded forms that feel comfortable in hand. Crafted from stainless steel, the collection reflects his signature balance of functionality and sculptural elegance. In recognition of its refined design and enduring appeal, Nuovo Milano was awarded the prestigious XVI Compasso d’Oro in 1991.
Ontwerper: Ettore Sottsass
