xA Kettle That Blends Craft and Playful Design
The Alessi 9093 kettle, crafted under the direction of Michael Graves in 1985, has earned its place as a design icon. Its gleaming stainless steel silhouette is punctuated by a charming bird-shaped whistle, turning a simple boil into a small moment of delight. Placed on the stove, it promises a poised, elegant presence that suits both modern and classic kitchens, while its cheerful whistle signals the moment water reaches a gentle boil.
This kettle is built for practical use as much as for visual impact. The body is made from 18/10 mirror-polished stainless steel, known for durability and a bright finish. The handle and bird whistle are set in a thermoplastic resin, offering a comfortable grip and a tactile contrast to the metal. The color is light blue, a soft accent that complements a range of kitchen styles. It is compatible with both gas and induction stovetops, and its generous capacity—67.6 fluid ounces (about 2 liters)—meets the needs of small gatherings or quiet mornings alike.
