Alessi Hob Kettle TEA REX by Michael Graves

Alessi Hob Kettle TEA REX by Michael Graves

30th Anniversary Edition 2015 Limited Edition Hob Kettle with Copper Metallic Finish Whistle

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.

The wording Tea Rex 9093 30th anniversary is stamped on the lid of the kettle.

Kettle in 18/10 stainless steel mirror polished with black handle and prehistoric reptilian whistle in PA, copper metallic finish.

Magnetic steel bottom. Size: H 22.5 cm, Dia 22 cm, cl 200
