Alessi’s 9091 kettle, launched in 1982, marked their inaugural venture into design kettles and has since been recognized, even gracing the collections of prestigious design museums. Richard Sapper, its visionary designer, aimed for a multisensory experience. Crafted from mirror-polished stainless steel, the kettle showcases a fluid, undulating handle made of black polyamide, adding a touch of sophistication. Beyond its visual appeal, the kettle’s acoustic feature sets it apart: two brass whistles produce a pleasing melody when water boils, providing an auditory delight rather than a simple alert. For user convenience, the whistle can be easily removed from the spout using the mechanism beneath the handle.
