And the winner is... Inga Sempé. Announced on 15 February, the jury's majority vote went to the French designer who entered the competition with her design for a "thin and round spoon that's as simple and as fun as eating risotto". Seen from above, the finely rounded forms of the spoon's bowl and handle are joined by a slender neck, emphasising the idea of lightness. In profile, the bowl of the spoon has a blade-like thinness that almost seems to announce this piece of cutlery's functionality for measuring servings of risotto. Clelia D'Onofrio

The slender spoon designed Inga Sempé has two rounded shapes – bowl and handle – joined by a narrow neck. The spoon was inspired by the observation of cutlery and kitchen utensils dear to the French designer, such as a Danish teaspoon with a round bowl used as a child, and ice-cream spoons with a flat handle.

The spoon designed by Tomás Alonso takes its cue from Euclidean geometry.

A spoon-sculpture reminiscent of Boccioni's futurist forms, the spoon by Laura Agnoletto can stand in a vertical position, lie on the table or lean on the rice bowl.

With a deep and unconventional curve, Aldo Bakker's spoon balances on the table, waiting to be used.

A tribute to Milan and its risotto, Carlo Contin's Meneghino spoon has an extra-wide bowl that allows it to rest on the tabletop, and also lets you "load on" the rice in the most practical way possible.
