plisse blender
Design Michele de Lucchi, 2019
Thermoplastic resin, stainless steel
Made by Alessi
In 2018, Michele De Lucchi created the "Plisse", a kettle with a decidedly plastic and sculptural shape that quickly caught the public's interest. With its pleated design reminiscent of a haute couture dress, a beautiful object shaped by a designer, "Plisse" soon established itself as a new icon in our domestic landscape. Continuing to explore the expressive possibilities offered by the surface shaped by a dense series of folds, De Lucchi has created a small collection of household appliances, flanking the first kettle with a juicer, a blender, a toaster and a hand blender.
- The base is made from thermoplastic resin, while the mixer jug, handle and cover is made from PCTG. PCTG is a particularly high-quality thermoplastic: it is shiny, lightweight and extremely transparent, while at the same time being superbly resilient. It features superlative thermal properties (-40° to +90°), is free from bisphenol-A (BPA-free) and is 100% recyclable.
- The mixer jug has a square shape and has a comfortable handle, which ensures simple and safe handling. Significantly lighter compared to heavy glass. The maximum capacity is 1.5 liters and the quantities can be measured in litres, cups and ounces. The jug is designed so that liquids can be poured out precisely and without drips or spills. Thanks to a silicon seal, the cover seals hermetically. It has an opening for pouring and is complemented by a measuring cap.
- The cable is integrated: after use, it can be wound up under the base.
- The rotation of the blade can be set at five speeds.
- There is also a pulse button, which can be used to boost the speed of the blade even further at maximum speed (to ensure that the appliance is not pushed beyond its upper limit, this function can be useful for making fruit smoothies, for example).
- Equipped with two safety sensors which block the mechanism when the mixer jug is not positioned correctly on the base and the cover does not fit tightly. This ensures that the mixer is only used under conditions of maximum safety: new ingredients can only be added while the mixer is running through the opening produced by removing the measuring cap.
- The base is non-slip, ensuring stability during use.
- Easy to clean. the mixer jug and blades can be separated. We recommend the use of a wet sponge and a detergent that
does not contain abrasive substances.
- Available in packaging made from recycled cardboard which features a reproduction of the original sketch by the author.
- Electrical power: 700 watt.
- Available in four color versions: red, grey, white and matt black. The housing and power cable are the same color.
