Alessi's Nuovo Milano cutlery set is a cherished Italian design classic, born from the creative mind of Ettore Sottsass in 1987. This 24-piece set is made from polished stainless steel and consists of 6 forks, 6 knives, 6 tablespoons and 6 coffee spoons. Ettore Sottsass aimed to design a cutlery collection that would exude simple modernity and have a tactile quality akin to a sea-smoothed pebble. He achieved this goal brilliantly: Nuovo Milano received the prestigious Compasso d'Oro design award shortly after its debut, and nowadays, these classic utensils grace tables in homes and restaurants all around the globe.
