Design Richard Sapper, 1983.
Copper, stainless steel w/ polyamide handle.
Made in Italy by Alessi.

This was Alessi's first 'designer kettle', heralding a new season of kettle ideas for the design world. The true heart of this design is the brass whistle whose pipes sing two notes, 'mi' and 'si' when the steam blows through them, giving a particularly attractive melody. Mr. Sapper wanted to avoid giving the kettle's whistle the usual irksome sound of the other kettles on the market. Perhaps this purely musical requirement lead to what can be described as Alessi's first multi-sensorial design.
