Electric version of the famous kettle with the bird, it represents for Alessi the meeting point between great design and large-scale production methods, a meeting obstinately sought by Michael Graves, applying his personal visual code that blends influences from Art Deco to Pop Art up to the language of cartoons.
The Girotondo perforated basket is an icon of the Alessi catalogue. The creative duo King-Kong, Stefano Giovannoni and Guido Venturini, created the motif of the little men chasing each other in a merry-go-round, hence the name of the collection: a fretwork with an immediate and evocative language, which finds space on everyday objects.

Convivio was born from a dialogue between the Pritzker prize winner David Chipperfield and the starred chef Pietro Leemann, whose different skills came together in the creation of this collection. The name Convivio wants to pay homage to cooking as an act that is both aesthetic and convivial, capable of building community by gathering people around the preparation and pleasure of food. The designer’s design approach is revealed in the centrality of the material, exalted in its simplicity and purity in a refined juxtaposition of consistencies and surfaces.
The 9091 kettle has a melodic brass whistle with a new shape, made up of two small pipes in which choristers are inserted which reproduce the notes E and B. Richard Sapper created it inspired by a childhood memory, the poetic sound of the sirens of the boats on the Rhine river: because the melody that accompanies the release of the steam must be pleasant, not anxiety-provoking like the typical whistle of kettles. The 9091 kettle is a multi-sensorial object, which will not interrupt a pleasant pause with a whistle, but with an enveloping melody.
The pots of the Mami collection, created by Stefano Giovannoni, are a hymn to the soft and pot-bellied shapes of the traditional Italian utensils from which the delicious aromas of Sunday lunch spread throughout the house. The Mami cookware set is made of 18/10 stainless steel, with a polished finish.
The magical atmosphere of the Stanza dello Scirocco inspired the design of the fruit bowl of the same name, a movement of steel tiles that leaves room for imagination. Length 27 cm, height 13
