Conceived by Ettore Sottsass, a designer with work in MoMA’s collection, the Nuovo Milano Flatware set transforms daily dining into a tactile, sculptural experience. Sottsass famously envisioned this flatware to feel "as smooth as an ocean rock"—a vision realized through gently rounded contours, balanced weight, and fluid, ergonomic forms. Crafted from high-grade 18/10 stainless steel, this timeless set brings refined modernism and Italian craft to any table setting.

Ettore Sottsass
Ettore Sottsass

Born in Innsbruck, Austria and raised and educated in Turin, Italy, Ettore Sottsass (1917–2007) was a designer and architect best known as a key founder of the Memphis Design Group, which was active in the 1980s. The group's postmodern design sensibility, which was famously described as "a shotgun wedding between Bauhaus and Fisher-Price," is characterized by bold, bright colors and asymmetrical shapes that evoke and combine totemic symbols and earlier design styles. Sottsass is represented in MoMA's collection with more than 20 objects, including the Valentine Portable Typewriter, Asteroid Lamp and Summa 19 Calculator. His work has been featured in numerous exhibitions at the Museum, including The Value of Good Design (2019), Shaping Modernity: Design 1880–1980 (2009–2010) and Information (1970).
