Description
Induction Hob Kettle 9091 - AlessiThe 9091 induction kettle has a melodic whistle made of brass in a shape that has never been seen before and consists of two small vents in which the tuners that reproduce the notes mi and si are inserted. Richard Sapper created this kettle inspired by a childhood remembrance, the poetic sound of boats' sirens at River Rhine: this is because the melody that accompanies the vapour outlet must be pleasant and not anxious like the whistle of boilers.

This induction kettle is a polysensory object which will not interrupt an enjoyable break with a whistle, but with a captivating melody.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Richard Sapper (1932–2015) was a visionary industrial designer celebrated for his ability to blend technical ingenuity with artistic elegance. Born in Germany and later based in Milan, Sapper’s work was characterised by a fusion of German precision and Italian flair, creating designs that are both highly functional and aesthetically striking.
Over his illustrious career, Sapper collaborated with some of the world’s leading brands, including Alessi, Kartell, and IBM, crafting products that remain iconic to this day. From the groundbreaking Tizio desk lamp—a marvel of engineering and minimalism—to the Alessi 9091 kettle with its signature melodic whistle, Sapper’s designs redefined modern living by merging practicality with poetry.
A recipient of numerous awards, including ten Compasso d’Oro prizes, Sapper’s legacy is a testament to his philosophy: design should not only solve problems but also spark joy and inspire wonder. His work continues to influence and shape the design world, embodying a timeless sophistication that resonates across generations.
ABOUT ALESSI
For over a century, Alessi has been creating extraordinary objects that make people dream, feel, think and experience poetry in their daily lives. By collaborating with the best creative minds from around the world, Alessi brings the most unexpected and contemporary expressions of design culture into people’s homes.
The Italian company was founded in 1921 by Giovanni Alessi and initially concentrated on metal kitchenware. His products and designs of coffee pots became so popular, that by 1924 the brand name ‘Alessi’ was well established.
By the 1950s the company broadened its approach, deciding to collaborate with well-known designers. The aim was to break away from modernism and even traditional designs and to try more unconventional design ideas, including those from groups such as Studio Alchima (Alessandro Mendini) and Memphis (Ettore Sottsass). Other designers associated with Alessi include Aldo Rossi, Philippe Starck and Michael Graves. The collaborative and creative approach they use has become the hallmark of the Alessi brand.
Alessi is now a B Corp, a company which strives to maximise the positive impact they have on their employees, the communities in which they operate and the environment, by using the business as a force for regeneration and sustainability.
