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
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.

Juicy Salif, the design icon par excellence and citrus juicer with a revolutionary yet surprisingly functional design. Outlined in its essential features by Philippe Starck during a seaside holiday in Italy, on a pizzeria placemat. Omnipresent in homes all over the world, and exhibited in the most prestigious museums on the world scene, Juicy Salif is much more than a simple citrus juicer: it has now become an icon of international industrial design.
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 soft lines of this juicer, made almost entirely of stainless steel, clearly reveal Stefano Giovannoni’s search for a sort of new classicism, of harmony, for the domestic landscape of this century.
