The name Mille Nuits is a reference to the 1001 Tales of The Arabian Nights and to the world of the Orient. The –issimo suffix emphasizes the design's overall sleekness. The smooth narrow bowl contrasts with the intricacy of the beveled stem: the detailing travels all the way down to the ridged foot. The two halves are united by the elegant diamond-shaped center, which is the Mille Nuits signature.
