Nuovo Milano saw the light of day in 1987, after several years of formal experiments, prototypes, and research on thicknesses. Ettore Sottsass revisited a traditional model in a contemporary key, insisting that his cutlery be "as smooth as a pebble from the sea." The audience agreed with his design approach: "Marketers think they know what the market is. A serious planner knows that he doesn't know, so he has to refer to his personal culture or patience or hope and say, I give this possibility to the market."
Nuovo Milano
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.
DiscoverEttore 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.
