Nuovo Milano Cutlery Range - Alessi, - Tablewares & Cutlery
Nuovo Milano was designed by Ettore Sottsass in 1987 to extend the ranges of cutlery that Alessi were producing (which at that time was the DRY Range by Achille Castiglioni - which has a very square and masculine form).

Nuovo Milano is a classic cutlery style - with a modern twist. The handles have rounded chunky forms, and are very well balanced, a distinct sign of their excellent quality, which probably only becomes truly evident when touched and held. Then it's no surprise that this is Alessi's BEST SELLING Range of cutlery. They offer excellent value for money.
