Alessi is an iconic Italian design brand that brings art, poetry and excellence into everyday objects.According to Michele De Lucchi, who designed Plissé, "A form with no folds is just a volume without form". USE AND MAINTENANCE: [Easy to use] Open the lid of the kettle by slightly moving the knob that acts as an opening button backwards. Designed by Michele De Lucchi, the Plissé kettle combines functional aspects with a plastic and fascinating design that reveals the creator's architectural background, as well as his passion for the handicraft and for sculpture. One of the hallmarks of Alessi's design philosophy is its attention to detail and the use of high-quality materials. As an added bonus, this kettle boils quickly and makes very little noise when doing so, it sounds much quieter than previously owned kettles.
