Alessi — Nuovo Milano 5180/17 | Sottsass 18/10 fish fork

There is an almost musical purity to the Nuovo Milano fish fork: the handle tapers with measured grace, while the tines open into a geometry that seems designed more for the gesture than for the function. Made of 18/10 stainless steel, the material favored by Alessi's great tradition, its surface reflects the light of the table with a restrained luminosity, free of any superfluous ornament. Holding it between your fingers is, in itself, a formal experience. Nuovo Milano was born from the vision of Ettore Sottsass, one of the absolute protagonists of 20th-century Italian design - founder of the Memphis group, architect, designer, and poet of form. Developed in collaboration with Alberto Gozzi, this cutlery collection distills the essentials: no concessions to decoration, no nostalgia for historical style, but a modernity that does not age. The set represents one of Sottsass's rare forays into tableware design and carries with it his full ability to transform an everyday object into a silent manifesto. At Stilmobili, we chose Nuovo Milano because it perfectly embodies the balance between rigor and sensitivity that we seek in every object we bring into the store. It is the ideal cutlery for those who set the table as they arrange a space: with intention, aesthetic awareness, and respect for detail. It pairs naturally with contemporary porcelain and minimalist glassware, yet has enough character to engage with more classic tableware as well.
