Alessi's Kettle with Bird Whistle


















The Kettle with Bird Whistle, by Alessi, a 1985 Michael Graves design, is a mix between post-modern stringency and zany pop culture.  Although this tea kettle is a defining icon of the 1980s, it continues to inspire and compliment modern design. The steel body of this functional art piece, features a baked-on coating of silicon resin, while the handle and whistle are made of polyamide. 8.5" x 9".
