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 9093 kettle with bird-shaped whistle is one of the best-selling Alessi objects in the world. The design of this kettle, created by Michael Graves in 1985, blends cultured influences from European art, American Pop and references to pre-Columbian cultures. The extraordinary success that the kettle has achieved since the year of its production is due to this very personal visual language of Graves. A cultured and elegant object, but at the same time playful and fun: when the water boils the bird sings, inevitably raising a smile. Kettle in 18\/10 stainless steel and thermoplastic resin. Magnetic steel bottom suitable for induction cooking
For the Girotondo tray the two King-Kong designers – Stefano Giovannoni and Guido Venturini – chose an extremely basic shape, wanting to work exclusively on the decoration. So they pierced the edge of the steel tray with a motif of little men, like the ones children make with scissors, a cheerful and playful design that continues to be a great success.
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.
An ironic tribute to a real woman, Anna G.’s smiling face has become a cult figure over the years, a true “design portrait”. With the Color Tales collection, his unmistakable smile returns with a small series of new color versions, a tribute to the chromatic research of its author, Alessandro Mendini.
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
