Alessi 9093/1 Kettle

This famous kettle, featuring a little bird that sings as soon as the water boils, was a huge success when it was introduced in 1985. For Alessi, it embodies the fusion of sophisticated design and industrial mass production—a combination that Michael Graves brought to life with great dedication. In doing so, he drew on his personal visual style, which blends influences from Art Deco and Pop Art with the visual language of comics.
