Michael Graves kettle for Alessi 2lt

£140.00
Michael Graves iconic design for Alessi, for stove top use. Stainless steel with pale blue handle and red bird whistle in ABS. This was the first product by an American designer to be included in the Alessi catalogue. It opened the way for the playful design style that subsequently characterised the Nineties and thanks to an inspired mix of post-modern and pop idioms it has become one of the internationally recognised icons of the Eighties. An Alessi best seller since 1985, this is actually the product that has sold the greatest number of units in the history of the company.
