9091 Kettle, 2 qt. 3.75 oz. by Richard Sapper for Alessi

9091 Kettle, 2 qt. 3.75 oz. by Richard Sapper for Alessi The 9091 was Alessi's first designer kettle, ushering in a long and successful tradition. The central element in the design is the brass whistle which, when the steam exits, produces a sound like a train whistle. Richard Sapper wanted to avoid the usual anxiety-generating noise produced by other kettles then on the market, and by following this exquisitely poetic philosophy he produced what is probably the first multi-sensory object for the kitchen. Kettle in 18/10 stainless steel mirror polished with melodic whistle in brass and handle in PA, black. Magnetic steel heat diffusing bottom. 7.5" Height (inches)6.5" Diameter (inches)2 qt. 3.75 oz.
