Alessi - Richard Sapper - Kettle - 9091 - Stainless steel - Italian Design

An iconic Alessi 9091 whistling kettle, designed by Richard Sapper in 1983. The kettle features a sculptural stainless steel body with a polished mirror finish, a distinctive black handle and a brass double-pipe whistle. Inspired by the sound of riverboat sirens, Sapper designed the whistle to produce two harmonious musical notes when the water reaches boiling point, replacing the traditional shrill kettle whistle. A celebrated example of Italian industrial design, combining functionality, technical innovation and a distinctive sculptural appearance. Manufacturer: Alessi, Italy Designer: Richard Sapper Model: 9091 Design year: 1983 Production: From 1984 Materials: Stainless steel, brass, synthetic handle Height: 19 cm (incl. handle) Condition: Good vintage condition with visible age-related signs of use, including minimal surface scratches and marks on the polished stainless steel body, as well as patina on the brass whistle. The kettle has been tested on an electric ceramic hob and is in working order. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and provide a detailed impression of the item's condition. Please note: Our decorative objects are not new but originate from the 1930s to 1990s. These are pre-owned items that may show signs of use, age-related patina, and occasionally minor production flaws. Additionally, slight color variations between the photos and the actual products may occur due to lighting effects. Shipping: The kettle will be carefully packaged and shipped with insurance and a tracking number.
