Alessi MZ01S24M Duna Cutlery Set
Designed in 1960, Duna cutlery set is a perennial example of measured form. Minimalist lines, progressively tapering handles: the designer focused on one detail, the narrowing of the end portion of the grip, a sort of “narrow waist” reminiscent of female clothing of the 1950s. It is the distinctive element of the whole series. Duna embodies Marco Zanuso's poetics: a combination of technicalindustrial severity, formal sensitivity and the ability to instill charm even in day-to-day objects.

- 18/10 stainless steel mirror polished

Marco Zanuso
Architect, designer and university lecturer, Marco Zanuso (1916-2001) was one of the leading interpreters of the Modern Movement. Trained at the Polytechnic University of Milan and, in the immediate post-war years, co-editor of the Domus magazine with Ernesto N. Rogers, he was awarded the Medaglia d'oro and the Gran Premio at the Milan Triennale on a number of occasions (VIII, IX, X, XI and XIII editions), and won five Compassi d’Oro between 1956 and 1985. Zanuso was one of the first designers in Italy to take an interest in the problems of product industrialization, going beyond aesthetic issues to incorporate technological, industrial, distribution and communication variables. According to Zanuso, the form of an object destined for serial reproduction is an amalgam of opportunities, experimentation and innovation in the concrete process that connects creativity, production and the social and cultural context. “Through my projects I want to give form to what I call complexity”, Marco Zanuso.
