Alessi Drago Tea Rex Whistle for Kettle by Michael Graves
Designed by Michael Graves in 1985, the kettle with the bird-shaped whistle became one of the icons of 20th century design.
To mark the 30th anniversary of this famous kettle, Graves redesigns the whistle, turning the little bird into a charming supernatural reptile, a prehistoric, mythological and futuristic creature all at the same time: Tea Rex.
The choice of the dragon is a reference on the part of the designer to the Chinese culture for whom these beings symbolise strength and fortune.
Born in Indianapolis, he teaches architecture in Princeton since 1962. His architectural works include the Portland Building and the Humana Building, the extension of the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Newark Museum. He created the best-selling 9093 kettle for Alessi.
