Alessi Kettle 9091

The 9091 was Alessi’s first designer kettle ushering in a long and successful tradition. The central element in the design is the brass whistle which when the steam exits produces a sound like a train whistle. Richard Sapper wanted to avoid the usual anxiety-generating noise produced by other kettles then on the market and by following this exquisitely poetic philosophy he produced what is probably the first multi-sensory object for the kitchen. Kettle in 18/10 stainless steel mirror polished with melodic whistle in brass and handle in PA black. Magnetic steel heat diffusing bottom. 7.5″ H X 6.5″ Diameter; 2 qt 3.75 oz capacity Parts available separately. In numerous museum collections.
