AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An iconic Alessi 9091 whistling kettle, designed by Richard Sapper in 1983.
The kettle features a sculptural stainless steel body with a polished mirror finish, a distinctive black handle and a brass double-pipe whistle.
Inspired by the sound of riverboat sirens, Sapper designed the whistle to produce two harmonious musical notes when the water reaches boiling point, replacing the traditional shrill kettle whistle.
A celebrated example of Italian industrial design, combining functionality, technical innovation and a distinctive sculptural appearance.
