Know before you buy
Each fork in the Nuovo Milano set measures 7.68 inches (195 mm) in length, which is a standard size for a primary table fork.
Yes, because they are crafted from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel, they are durable enough for regular dishwasher use. We recommend drying them promptly after a cycle to maintain the polished finish.
The handles are designed with a smooth, rounded profile that feels substantial yet comfortable in the hand. The weight is well-distributed, providing a balanced feel that is characteristic of Ettore Sottsass’s ergonomic design approach.
Like most high-polish stainless steel flatware, the Nuovo Milano forks may show fingerprints with frequent handling. However, the smooth, seamless design makes them very easy to wipe clean and maintain their luster.
Absolutely. The minimalist, modern aesthetic designed by Ettore Sottsass is versatile enough to complement both casual everyday meals and more formal, sophisticated table settings.
