Alessi - Richard Sapper - Kettle - Aluminium, Bronze, Plastic

The melodic whistle kettle 9091 is the second product designed by Sapper for Alessi, published in 1983, a poly-sensory object, that is to say, using more sense than normally do kettles. Richard Sapper wanted her to speak to hearing as well. We got this by introducing into the whistle "choristers", those little tubes that we use to tune musical instruments, reports Alberto Alessi, the house manager. To the materialistic function of boiling water is added the poetic aspect of the melody coming out of the whistle. Background lined with copper. Slight traces of use, small scratches and patina on brass whistles. Sublime object of guard, present in all the museums of design, rare! Brilliant 18/10 stainless steel kettle with brass melodic whistle and PA handle, black. Diameter 16,50cm. Height (cm): 19cm. Content (cl / oz): 200.
