AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The 9091 Alessi kettle, designed by Richard Sapper for Alessi, in 1983, is the first designer kettle from the Piedmontese company and a true icon of international design.

Richard Sapper created this kettle inspired by a childhood memory related to the sounds of the Reno river. The goal was to eliminate the anxiety-inducing noise of traditional kettles, transforming it into a pleasant multisensory experience. Today the 9091 model is displayed in the world's most important museums, including the permanent collection of the Triennale Design Museum in Milan and the Omero Museum.

The kettle is made of brass and consists of two sound tubes that strike a precise melody with the notes "Mi" and "Si" when the water reaches boiling, replacing the classic screeching whistle.
The bulged body is made of polished 18/10 stainless steel, while the molded handle is in black thermoindurent plastic. The steel base is suitable for all cooking surfaces, including induction hobs, ensuring rapid heat diffusion.
In good to excellent condition, used with signs of wear and use as visible from the photos.

The product will be properly packed and shipped within 48 hours with a tracking code.
