Described as their most astonishing design fiasco by Alessi themselves, this kettle is something you either love or hate. No, it is not practical and does not meet most of the basic principles you would expect in a kettle, but it did get a place in the MOMA because of its "interesting" design. The body of the kettle is made of brushed aluminium and the spout/handle is made of aqua-blue thermoplastic.
Sustainable and environmentally conscious By complementing your interior with vintage items, you are acting in an environmentally conscious way. After all, no new raw materials need to be used for this product. When you choose vintage, you use what is already available, and that makes it sustainable. You may not be giving these objects a second life, but perhaps even a third or fourth. Vintage products are of high quality and last for several lifetimes for good reason. There is a story behind every vintage product. The often minimal signs of use offer a glimpse into the life of the previous owner. The extent to which these signs of use are present is stated in the description. Photos are part of this description, so please examine them carefully. Vintage (read: used) items sometimes show color variations, uneven wear, and/or normal wear. Please take this into account when making a purchase.
This unique Alessi kettle, designed by the famous Philippe Starck, is a true work of art from the 1980s. With its striking design, which is both loved and controversial, the Hot Bertaa has earned a place in the Museum of Modern Art. The body is crafted from brushed aluminum, while the spout and handle are made of aqua-blue thermoplastic, giving it a playful and modern look.
