Designed by Ettore Sottsass, this masterpiece of functional design immediately became a classic. The designer wanted this table service to be 'as smooth as an ocean rock', with a soft, rounded shape.

With soft and sinuous shapes, these objects witness Stefano Giovannoni's desire to combine playful themes, with a search for harmony and originality developed along the lines of the maternal figure.

A cutlery and serveware set envisaged by Achille Castiglioni to meet two essential requirements: to provide practical solutions to the small problems arising while "being at the table", and to satisfy the public's taste.
