The 9093 kettle is made of stainless steel and has a capacity of 2 litres. The ergonomic handle and the bird-shaped whistle, which emits a melodic sound when the water boils, are made of heat-resistant thermoplastic resin and give a playful touch of colour to the kettle.

The spout pours water precisely, while the magnetic bottom (also suitable for induction) distributes heat quickly. Ironic, pop, poetic: a timeless complement to any kitchen.

Icon of postmodern design

Designed by American architect Michael Graves in 1985, the 9093 kettle is an icon of postmodern design. Its bright colors and out-of-the-box shape bucked the minimalist trends of the time, focusing on lightness to subvert the idea that household appliances should only be functional. Over time, it has become one of Alessi's best-selling items in the world and an integral part of pop culture, appearing in films and TV series such as Ghost and Star Trek.

Michael Graves

Michael Graves (1934-2015) was an American architect and designer who left a profound mark on both fields. A leading exponent of postmodernism, he challenged design paradigms with a unique aesthetic approach, often exemplified by playful and visually unsettling elements. Over the course of his decades-long career, he received numerous awards and recognitions. His work continues to inspire and shape the world of architecture and design.
