ambiente – decorate life

In this post you can find a range of  kettles created by designers coming from all over the world: from the famous kettle with small bird shaped whistle to the innovative kettle with magnetic steel heat diffusing bottom.

Kettles designed by Aldo Rossi, Micheal Graves, Richard Sapper, Andrea Branzi, Stefano Giovannoni, Frank Gehry

This kettle was the first designer kettle, heralding a new season of kettle ideas for ourselves as well as many other kettle manufacturers. The true heart of this design is the brass whistle whose pipes sing two notes, mi and si, when the steam blows through them, giving a particularly attractive melody. Sapper wanted to avoid giving the kettles whistle the usual irksome sound of the other kettles on the market.
And this purely musical requirement led to what can be described as Alessis first multi-sensorial design.

The head of a large and successful family of objects designed by Graves in the Eighties and Nineties, this was the first product by an American designer to be included in the Alessi catalogue. It opened the way for the playful design style that subsequently characterised the Nineties and thanks to an inspired mix of post-modern and pop idioms it has become one of the intenationally recognised icons of the Eighties. An Alessi best seller since 1985, this is actually the product that has sold the greatest number of units in the history of the company.

All kettles are in stainless steel mirror polished with handle in PA or wood. The kettle of Richard Sapper has a melodic whistle in brass.
