Alessi - Complete Cutlery Service 24 Pieces "Nuovo Milano" in Stainless Steel

Alessi Nuovo Milano — Cutlery That Time Has Made Classic

There is something deeply familiar about holding a Nuovo Milano fork: the polished surface, the soft profiles reminiscent of a stone shaped by water, the feeling of an object that already belongs on the table before it has even been set down. Ettore Sottsass translated the essence of pure form into steel, and the result is a cutlery set that does not grow old — it becomes more established.

Why we chose it for you

Nuovo Milano is not simply a cutlery set: it is a piece of Italian design history. Designed by Ettore Sottsass — one of the masters of the 20th century — it won the 15th Compasso d'Oro in 1989 and the Bio12 Diploma in Ljubljana in 1988. Founded in 1921 on Lake Orta, Alessi has always had a talent for transforming everyday objects into expressions of material culture. This set is its most eloquent proof: it lives on the table every day, yet carries the distinctive weight of a designed work.
