A global icon of postmodern design, the 9093 kettle—conceived by Michael Graves in 1985—remains one of the most celebrated works in the Alessi catalog. This visionary piece masterfully fuses a global tapestry of influences, from the geometric rigor of European Art and the vibrant energy of American Pop to subtle echoes of pre-Columbian motifs. Defined by an elegant, conical silhouette and a mirror-polished finish, the design balances architectural poise with a playful, spirited wit. The experience culminates in a moment of pure, sensory delight: as the water reaches a boil, the iconic burgundy bird begins its signature song—an inevitable catalyst for a smile at the contemporary table.

Elegant design, looks stunning in our new kitchen.. Michael. Voorhees, NJ. Sat May 20 2023

"Michael Graves’ kettle is recognized all over the world as an icon of contemporary design, thanks to its mix of pop and postmodern styles. To mark the kettle’s 30th anniversary, Graves has redesigned the whistle, transforming the little bird into a fascinating mythological and futuristic creature: something in between a dragon and a flying dinosaur. Symbolizing strength and fortune in Chinese culture, the dragon was chosen as a good luck charm for the kitchen.

These whistling tea kettles feature a 3-ply base for even heat distribution that results in faster boiling. The Kettle is the perfect stovetop accent for any kitchen and works on all stovetops, including induction. Featuring a classic design, these tea kettles bring a timeless look to any stovetop. Because the kettle is surgical-grade stainless steel, it won’t impart metallic flavor into your water so you can enjoy the full-bodied flavor of your coffee, tea, instant soups, and more. A thick aluminum core embedded in the stainless steel base heats evenly, allowing water to reach the boiling point more quickly than traditional kettles. The magnetic stainless steel base works on all cooktops, including induction. These kettles include a glass lid that offers visibility into the heating progress for anyone that wants to debate whether or not a watched pot boils faster. Being able to see the progress of the water as it nears a boil also allows you to turn off the heat when you want to enjoy a beverage that benefits from a temperature that is just off a boil. The levered one-touch spout includes a heat-resistant silicone cover and can be opened and closed with a thumb or a single finger. The spout's melodic whistle alerts you when your water is ready to serve. The stay-cool handle features a heat break to reduce heat transfer to the handle and is strategically placed to keep fingers away from steam as you lift the kettle off the stove.

I purchased this kettle for its beauty; it would add to my almost completed. I am sure I would enjoy my new bed.. Michael. Huntsville, AL. Tue Feb 24 2026

The 9091 kettle has a melodic whistle made of brass in a shape that has never been seen before and consists of two small vents in which the tuners that reproduce the notes mi and si are inserted. Richard Sapper created this kettle inspired by a childhood remembrance, the poetic sound of boats' sirens at the River Rhine: This is because the melody that accompanies the vapor outlet must be pleasant and not anxious like the whistle of boilers. This induction kettle is a polysensory object that will not interrupt an enjoyable break with a whistle but with a captivating melody.

This is a very beautiful looking kettle, except for the bottom connection to the base should have been a different material Because one mistake with the flame to high it started melting. Can that be correct. Thank you…. Roxanne. Brooklyn, NY. Tue Apr 04 2023

Central to Chantal’s Scandinavian Collection is our 1.8 quart (7 cup) Oslo electric kettle with glossy finish. Clean lines and an angled resin handle printed with a blond wood pattern result in a design that is distinctly modern and northern European. A pronounced water level window makes it easy to know how much water remains in the kettle without removing the lid. Lid and handle both stay cool to the touch when boiling water. Kettle removes from it’s base so you can take it anywhere.

It is a lovely color and style and works quite well. I love the wood handle.. Helene. Bainbridge Island, WA. Tue Mar 10 2026
