Alessi kettle, steel, Italy, circa 1985

An iconic piece of postmodern design, this "9093" kettle by Alessi was conceived in 1985 by American architect Michael Graves and remains one of the most recognizable objects in the brand’s history. Made in Italy from mirror-polished stainless steel with a magnetic base (induction-compatible), it features a whimsical bird-shaped whistle in red thermoplastic resin, a hallmark of the design’s playful yet refined aesthetic.

Combining echoes of European modernism, American Pop, and even pre-Columbian motifs, the kettle was intended as a functional sculpture—an object both useful and joyful. When the water reaches boiling point, the little bird sings: a light, charming gesture that has made this kettle beloved for decades. This example is in excellent condition and retains its original "Alessi" brand sticker, slightly faded with age but easily removable.

With a height of 22.5 cm and a diameter of 22 cm, it holds up to 2 liters of water. A must-have for lovers of design and a practical addition to any kitchen. This is an opportunity to own a classic at a fair and attractive price. Free shipping available for orders above 200 €, and we’re happy to arrange payment in other currencies upon request.
